You go for a cup of tea with your client (get in); an Indian man is already sitting at the table, extremely sociable and constantly touching you (contact). He whispers because he has a cold (with), drinks milk (me), and since that does not help he takes an aniseed schnapps (any) with a tea floating in it that has a little mouse inside (time).
