Imbedded and injellied."
Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Audley Court (1842)

‘Breakfast, Luncheon and Tea’
Marion Harland [Mary Virginia Terhune] (1875)
“You may feel that you have eaten too much...But this pastry is like feathers - it is like snow. It is in fact good for you, a digestive!”
M.F.K. Fisher (1908-1992)
