Breakfast Party The plan was for
the guests to assist Mr Johnson with
his morning toilet - taking him
from the realms of Mofp’heus'by aid
of a cup of hold water This plan
failed because Mr Johnson had to
meet the early morning train for an
appointment with an auditor of the
Kansas Flour Mills company and for
