'If you hadn't startled me – if I had had a moment's warning – I shouldn't have – it wouldn't have happened!' 'Well, you might not have kissed me, but I had every intention of kissing you, so it's just as well he didn't announce me,' said Mr Calverleigh. 'Do you always kiss gentlemen who walk in unannounced? I'll take good care none is allowed to do so when we are married!
