Unless my memory betrays me like a venal cur with a kitchen-alley appointment and his ribs showing, yes, I believe Mistress Pincushion's litter of balloon-busting hoglets, the famous flavoured butter-bath, and also Slow-mo Solomon (a few feathers short of a whole duck) feature quite prominently in Maugham's masterpiece.
