A party of a dozen young men in full evening dress would board the Penzance-Aberdeen express at Oxford and travel on it as far as Leicester; they would return at once on the Aberdeen-Penzance express. On the outward journey they would dine, and on the way back make speeches." Graña, C., & Graña, M. (1990). On Bohemia: The code of the self-exiled. New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers
