Seeing that my accumulated fasncial resources are now rapidly melting away owing to the chaos in China (so they say) I have de- cided to spend all the money I can lay hold of before it actually dia- appears into nothingness of its owà accord. I dropped a hint the other | day-only a very guarded and vague suggestion," really-that I thought of buying myself a car. Within Afteen, minutes of my men- tioning the matter to a loquacious friend to whom it was told "strict ly between ourselves, old man!" I had a dozen people after me, anxious to put me wise to a real bargain.

"That Oh, that only shows she is a real car, always anxious to start, just like a willing horse]"
