But she remembered her duty and suddenly swung about and marched back to Gunter’s, and told little Mr Gunter firmly that she had taken one of his teaspoons with her as a memento and would now like to pay for it. She had not liked to do so in front of the gentleman.
Mr Gunter was not surprised, thinking that Hannah must be of the Quality, and he was used to humouring their little eccentricities.
So Hannah Pym slept that night in her narrow bed with the spoon under her pillow along with the glove he had kissed.
