The box contained a crystal decanter and four ornate glasses in Venetian glass, all enamelled with the Chichester arms. Quote My dear Lord and Lady Chichester, I beg your forgiveness for missing your wedding. I fear I suffer from attacks of migraine, and was bedridden with such an affliction until this morning.
