Oh! I had forgotten filling fountain pens from the ink bottle. That was so
much fun, and you could make such good noises.
I recall in my last year of junior school, sucking the end of my fountain
pen (the end without a nib). I hadn't thought about the hole in the end of
the pen and the effect of sucking on until I was deluged with ink. The
reduction in pressure in the pen squeezed the rubber inside and pushed all
the ink out over my clothes!
