- ... that 1890s hotel guests could use a teleseme (pictured) to order cocktails and manservants? Source: "Such a list is a dangerous thing to have at one's elbow on a hot summer's day, for it comprises everything from appolinaris to a gin fizz, and includes the insidious sherry cobbler, the seductive cocktail and the patrician 'Bass'." ... "... ranging from 'chamber maid' and 'my manservant' to 'cognac'"

New enough and long enough. Hook fact present; cannot load preview of second link, so AGF hook. No textual issues. Image is PD due to age.
