Excerpt from When Ghost Meets Ghost

If the tea had been China tea, fresh-made, it might have helped me to recollecting the name of that Court, which I am sorry to say I have forgotten. But it was Ceylon and had stood. However, it was hot. Only you will never convince me th'at it was fresh-made, not even if you have me dragged asunder by Wild horses. Its upshot was, for the purpose of this story, that it did not help me to recollect the name of that Court.

I have to confess with Shame that I have written the whole of what follows under a false pretence, having called it out of its name, to the best of my belief, throughout. I know it had a name. It does not matter, the story can do without accuracy commonplace matter of fact!
