BY Natural Reasoning.

A keen student of human nature
must have written the following:
when you see a young man sailing
down a street shortly after midnight
with his collar crumpled, you can
make up your mind that there's a
young girl crawling upstairs not far
distant, with her shoes under her arm
and IN extinguished lamp in her
hand"
