Excellent, Roger - and please apologize the delay.

To explain to her sister Lizzie why she planned to settle over to Europe again after the insanity affair, she said that she couldn't stand meeting old friends because "if I should say the moon is made of green cheese they would heartily and smilingly agree with me".

Well, in our times we do safely know the moon is made of cheese:

Interestingly there is a popular saying in Scotland, "You can't see green cheese, but you want it", meaning that you must have whatever someone else has just for the sake of having it. For example, a child's friend may get a bike and although the child is unable to ride a bike, they will pester their parents to buy one. Somehow reminds me of Mary....(maybe she had heard it in Scotland?)

Roger, you win a supply of green cheese:
   

...and A Grand Day Out (not necessarily to the moon):
