"Attack of the Killer Shoos"--sounds like a good title for a low-budget horror movie.

Anyway, glad you made it, although there would have have been something kind of poetic or symbolic had you been crushed by your own shoos. The sad thing is, we probably never would have heard about and always wondered what fate befell The Shooman.

Dear distinguished Sir,

May I express my greatest condolences regarding your dreadful brush with Fate. I regret to say that I experienced a similarly harrowing event lately when I was compelled to be a passenger on one of those vulgar aero-planes, and, as I was giving myself a full wet shave in the on-board water closet, with a proper straight razor of course, the blasted machine was suddenly subjected to some fearsome turbulence. I completely soiled the front of my ascot with blood, as well as the looking-glass and rest of the tiny cabin, but fortunately the wound was not mortal. After I was bandaged and made  my way painfully back to my assigned seat, the other passengers applauded - though, I have  a gnawing suspicion, not at my survival, but at the blood that had soiled my Gentlemanly attire - the beasts.

I have the distinct honour to remain, Sir,

Your Most Obedient and Humble Servant,

Theodore Ebeneezer Alphonus St Bonar, Esquire.

Cap'n,

Must have been a private aircraft.  No one of T.E.A.St.B.'s obvious eminence would deign to fly commercially.

My dear &  esteemed  Sirs,

Much gratitude is pro-offered from my person for the concern about my tragic affair upon that ill-fated aero-plane journey, from which, Almighty be blessed, only a small scar remains. I know not the regulations for such machines, though it was an international itenerary, and mercifully no troubles were encountered in my possession of the razor in question; how else would one equip one's toilet, good Sirs? Regrettably, that particular leg of the journey was not possible via train or ship schedules, another sad bit of commentary on the state of affairs in this day and time.

I remain, my dear Sirs,

Your Most Humble and Obedient Servant,

Theodore Ebeneezer Alphonsus St Bonar, Esquire.
