What can make her so fond of a gingerbread watch? She has spoiled some of the movements. Between ourselves, she has kissed away "half-past twelve," which I suppose to be the canonical hour in Hanover Square. Well, if "love me, love my watch," answers, she will keep time to you. It goes right by the Horse-Guards. Dearest M.,--Never mind opposite nonsense. She does not love you for the watch, but the watch for you.
