The Porter's Horrible End(1903)

Overview

Whilst two furniture removers are hard at work, a young cook's apprentice amuses himself by squirting water at them as they pass with a little pump which had been left in the vestibule by the door porter who has fallen asleep behind the door. The workmen wonder where the disagreeable showerbaths are coming from. They did not see the boy at first who had hidden himself behind some flower pots, but they catch sight of the door porter whom they believe to be the guilty person.
