Uninvited Member. May I ask where was this charming Party?
Algy. At the CRAMMERLY's, Prince's Gate. Colonel CRAMMERLY.
Uninvited M. Colonel CRAMMERLY! Let's see, was he an old Crimea man?
Algy. No!—He was Colonel in the Bounders Green Volunteers. (Roars of laughter.) You know "CRAMMERLY's Starch"—made a fortune out of it.
Charlie. He must have spent a bit of it last night. They say the flowers alone cost over a thousand pounds.
Enter Captain O.
Captain O. Talking about the Colonel CRAMMERLY Party, eh? (To Uninvited M.) Were you there?
Uninvited M. (very satirically). Oh, dear no! I fear I'm not smart enough to warrant my admittance into that charmed and select circle. [Roars of laughter.
Capt. O. By Jove, you were well out of it. (Addressing the Club generally.) Did—you ever see such—eh?
