The Hedge-Climbing Brother
One day recently, as the Professor was working on his paper discussing the social and metaphysical ramifications of deploying a deep square leg, he suddenly looked up from his endeavours and asked me if I knew the story of the year his brother * entered the International Hedge Climbing Contest in Claxby Pluckacre. I did not. To this day, I still do not know the story. * The Professor is widely believed to be an only child.
