Wherever was this overflow bathtub from German manufacturer Käsch, when I needed it.

Just this weekend, I was telling one of my infamous Anne stories, this time about drawing a bath at Hong Kong’s Regent Hotel(now an Intercontinental), then forgetting about the water running, until hotel management knocked on my door nearly an hour later.

My negligence caused considerable damage and inconvenience to guests besides myself. Who knows … perhaps this is why Regent sold the hotel.
