And at the back, very proud for her, Celia and I stood silent, with a something in the throat that had come there suddenly....
And this morning the cup was upside-down again. Well, well, if she likes it that way, that way let it be.
But take warning, O Jane! When your man—here's luck to him!—comes back, then I shall assert myself once more. My cup, "Long Jump, 1739. First Prize," shall stand the right way up; either that or you leave my service. I am determined about this....

"Dear Mr. Punch,—You may remember that Queen Victoria recorded in her Journal in the Highlands that 'Vicky sat down on a wasps' nest.'
