Leo showed up on the ball with a bottle of beer in his hand. He was wearing a white jacket, black trousers and a bow tie.
Leo finished the bottle and placed it on the tray of a passing servant.
"Hello John!" Helen Rothschild, a gorgeous woman aged 26-27, approached him with two wineglasses of champagne. "How do you do?"
"...!" Leo responded with some popular filthy student joke. He took the glass from her and drank it at a draught.
"When you become a gentleman?" she said. "Where have you been?"
"Wish you were there!" Leo took the second glass from her hands and emptied it too.
