Excerpt from My Friend the Chauffeur Wanted, ladies, to conduct. An amateur automobilist (English, titled) who drives his own motor-car accommodating five persons, offers to conduct two or three ladies, Americans preferred, to any picturesque centres in Europe which they may desire to visit. Car has capacity for carrying small luggage, and is of best type. Journeys of about 100 miles a day. Novel and delightful way of travelling; owner of car well up in history, art, and architecture of different countries. Inclusive terms five guineas a day each, or slight reduction made for extensive trip. Address - " When Terry had read aloud thus far, I hastily interrupted him. I was n't quite ready yet for him to see that address. The thing needed a little leading up to; and by way of getting him quickly and safely on to a side rack I burst into a shout of laughter, so loud and so sudden that he looked up from the little pink Riviera newspaper of which I was the proud proprietor, to stare at me. "What's the matter?" he asked. I subsided. "The idea struck me so forcibly," said I. "Jolly clever, is n't it?" "It's a fake, of course," said Terry. "No fellow would be ass enough to advertise himself like that in earnest. Probably the thing's been put in for a bet, or else it's a practical joke." I had been aware that this, or something like it, would come, but now that the crisis was at hand I felt qualmish.
