Excerpt from Random Recollections
One prince had a set of artificial teeth, which, when fitted, he looked at in the glass. They are too white for a man of my age, he said. We can soon cure that, replied my father, bringing him a bottle of port. Sip that slowly through them. Being busy, he left the prince to carry out his instructions and colour his teeth. When at last he returned to his patient he found the bottle empty, and His Royal Highness hopelessly drunk on the floor.
