"A pint of milk for every pint of beer"

This scrap of paper can be found under an empty vase, on the mantle piece in Skelcar's office. The ink has ran a little bit, presumably from damp.

Today I attended a party. It was a rather dull one, despite being around people I was fond of. I felt obliged to stick around with one particular friend to make sure they got home safely. I grew too tired and impatient. 

I found myself with an obscure desire for milk. I think when I got home, I had a pint of milk for every pint of beer. The craving seemed sensible- it helped a lot. There's something about milk- and I refer to cow's milk- I think it's the refreshment of water but having the substance of a filling dessert.

I'm not attending next week, sir.
