Afternoon Tea Study of a Bashful Man, Who Has Privately Told an Amusing Story to the Host, and Has Been Requested by Him to Repeat It Aloud For the Benefit of the Company. We Have Tried to Depict the Wretched Individual At the Precise Moment When, Having Managed to Stammer Through Two Thirds of His Anecdote (Which Is Rather Long), He Became Conscious, All of a Sudden, That He Has Completely Forgotten the Point.
