Flung out at chowtime

    Ellery sighed. "I was evicted."
    "What!"
    "Dr. Kirk kicked me out. I was abusing his hospitality, it seems, by causing the dinnertable conversation to flow through homicidal and detectival channels. That's not done in polite society, it appears. Never so chagrined in my life."

(from The Chinese Orange Mystery, by Ellery Queen)
