Mrs Gay has some of her friends to tea. Among them was the professor’s wife, who prided herself on her correct use of the King’s English on every occasion. “I wish I knew where George was,” remarked the hostess, referring to her rather dissipated husband. The professor’s wife drew herself up. “I presume, my dear,” she said primly, “that you mean you wish you knew where he is?” “Oh, no, I don’t,” replied Mrs Gay sweetly. “I know where he is. He is upstairs in bed with a black eye and a fearful headache. I want to know where he was.”
