The Time Out Of Joint
SOME one who had been down in Lord Kenyon's kitchen, remarked that he
saw the spit shining as bright as if it had never been used. Why do you
mention his spit? said Jekyll; you must know that nothing turns upon
that. In reference to the same noble lord, Jekyll observed, It was
Lent all the year round in the kitchen, and Passion week in the
parlor.
