The contents of mine flew through the air and came to rest on the trousers of Aubrey Upjohn, MA, moistening them to no little extent. Indeed, it would scarcely be distorting the facts to say that he was now not so much wearing trousers as wearing tea. [...] \"I see you have not changed since you were with me at Malvern House,\" he said in an extremely nasty voice, dabbing at the trousers with a handkerchief. [...] \"Frightfully sorry,\" I said. \"Too late to be sorry now. A new pair of trousers ruined. It is doubtful if anything can remove the stain of tea from white flannel.\"",
