Lest you should fall from grace
Old Fellow,
I was troubled, nay disturbed, by your recent heresies in the matter of cocktails, be they however inadvertant and I felt moved to forward some corrective words of encouragement.
Recently, some discerning chaps invited me to give an after dinner speech. As you know I've never been one to miss the opportunity to don the old soup and fish and the chance to show off on top of it is not to be passed up. I was also allowed a deal of latitude in the subject matter. Naturally I seized upon the opportunity to tutor the unwashed in the ways of righteousness and prepared a forty five minute sermon on the construction of the perfect Martini. I enclose, for your perusal, an excerpt therefrom which should allay any deviancy which, far from the corrective influences of Mother country, you were tempted to essay.
Yours in Christ
The Rt Rev T
