As you may be aware, large areas of Scotland are suffering from a lack of woodland diversity as a result of commercial conifer plantations, so it would be environmentally irresponsible of me not to pass up the opportunity for a low-carbon ground-clearance operation. As such, I will not be able to follow your prompt in full. However, as it's Christmas, I have kept Bunter, the shell-shock and the settee.
His Lordship had recently expressed an interest in the cuisine of the Indian subcontinent, and as, in Mr Bunter's opinion, any interest, however slight, should be nurtured as being beneficial to his Lordship's delicate mental state, Bunter had undertaken to transform the delivery of a note to an elderly Anglo-Indian civil servant (retired) into an invitation to spend an afternoon aiding his manservant Mr. Chatterjee in the preparation of various pickles and chutneys.
The brass ornaments on the hall table next to the elephant's-foot umbrella stand were quite outside Mr Bunter's experience and not entirely to his taste but he observed with approval that they all showed signs of conscientious polishing. At the appearance of a dark-skinned figure from the direction of the kitchen, Bunter rose from the mauve-draped rosewood settee upon which he had been desired to wait and followed his guide into a cloud of intriguingly fragrant steam.
