Keats once bought a small pub in London and one day he was visited by Dr Watson, confrère of the famous Baker Street sleuth. Watson came late in the evening accompanied by a friend and the pair of them took to hard drinking in the back snug. When closing time came, Keats shouted out the usual slogans of urgent valediction such as 'Time now please!', 'Time gents!', 'The Licence gents!', 'Fresh air now gents!' and "Come now all together!' But Dr Watson and his friend took no notice. Eventually Keats put his head into the snug and roared 'Come on now gents, have yez no Holmes to go to!'
The two topers then left in that lofty vehicle, highdudgeon.
