Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Royal Georgie
Nuts, apples, oranges, and brandy-cherries formed the dessert.
The fumes of roast goose with sage - and-onion stuffing still hung about the room, though, to the goose, plum-pudding had succeeded, together with mince-pies, both steeped in brandy. A diner who sat motionless did not perceive the savour but should he turn his head, then the smell of goose was drawn across his face and thrust itself up his nostrils.
Heavy cut-glass decanters, containing port and sherry, in silver circular trays, stood on the table; but on one side, in the centre, before the host, space had been made to receive something even better than the best of good wines.
