The Wooing of Archibald
Modern trends like latex coatings on maize basis quickly contrive to recruit
adepts among the honoured members of the Drones Club. Thus only a deadhead
would have tried to investigate the flexible-dress-code’s reason. Clad in
clothes of some foreign latex-like material, the gentlemen seemed to test with
all their energy the performance of their transpiration. A Gin-and-Ginger-
Ale, positive about reversing osmosis, found a twin soul in the prune.
Just as another endothelium was about to join the epithelium’s swelling state,
Mr Mulliner shook his head.
’I cannot agree with you, gentlemen. If those coatings had any real future,
insects would have exchanged their chitin carapace for them since long ago.
My authority on this subject stems from my efforts to promote the nuptial
aggregation of my nephew Archibald and Aurelia Cammarleigh, for which
the bridegroom rewarded me with biochemical literature.’
’Golly!’ ventured to comment a Whisky-and-Water, slightly inebriated by
the essence of the joined efforts of incubated barley and rye.
My nephew Archibald [said Mr Mulliner] established his reputation as a
brilliant biochemist during his works on the repetitive regions in the TRαYgroup
root factor, a plasma protein, or something like this.
As he saw Aurelia Cammarleigh first through his tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses,
love went on all over him like rooting hormone. The effect was comparable to
a brain graft from a hen, so he was not aware of my helpful presence. After
his blood had nearly coagulated, he gave his fibrinogen a rest and gasped:
’Never seen such a divine egg in the whole literature!’
Seeing that he was not alone, he regained control over himself and refocused
his concentration on me.
’Is my specificity for this superb ligand reciprocated? The cry goes round
Kensington ’The pathway to Aurelia’s heart is as blocked as if stuffed with
polyacrylamide and PVC!’,’ he told me.
’Apparently, being hit by Amor’s pollen sends your cerebral nodules centrifuging,’
I said. ’Don’t let that love-at-first-sight tag on your forehead
