"Seems to me ou've told us about your nephew Archibald before. Was he the one who had the trouble with the explorer?"
"That was Osbert."
"The one who stammered?"
"No. That was George."
"You seem to have so many nephews."
"I have been singularly blessed in that respect," agreed Mr. Mulliner. "But, as regards Archibald, it may serve to recall him to you if I mention that he was generally considered to be London's leading exponent of the art of imitating a hen laying an egg."
(from Young Men in Spats, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
