"I must not, however, omit to notice a strange and 'right merrie conceit' of my friend, Mr. George H. Freeling. From his intimate knowledge of witchcraft, he kept up a sly intercourse with the imps of Mr. Bulmer, and caused a most mysterious black-letter morceau to be printed, by way of supplying the place of a French-roll, with the napkin upon each of our plates. The hit was a happy one, and the surprise and delight of cach member, upon discovering the said morceau, was 'right pleasaunt' to behold."-DECAMERON, vol 3, pp. 73.
