Magersfontein Lugg and Albert Campion both standing in a church yard.

“Very determined of you” murmured Mr. Campion affably. “Where was it?” “On the tree, of course” she said. “If you're interested I'll tell you about it, but if you're not I'll save it for some other time.” ~ Sweet Danger (1933), Margery Allingham.
