a change of address
The German writer Lessing could be very forgetful.
Once he returned home after dark without his key. He knocked on the front door and a servant peered out of an upstairs window, not recognizing him in the dark. ´Professor Lessing is not at home,` called out the servant.
´Very well,` said Lessing, turning away. ´Tell him I will call another time.`
