'Murder!' Lord Arthur looked at his hands... Murder may seem an unlikely subject for laughter but if murder is predicted by the palmist, a gentleman, in Lord Arthur's opinion, should get it over with before his wedding day. So the situation is ripe for laughter as he makes one bungling attempt after another to fulfil the prediction.
It's witty, it's knock-about, it's murder!
