A PICTORIAL SERMONETTE
One of the Perils of those Whose Positions in Society are not Secure
Mr. Snobbly (aside)—“Great Scott, there’s that man who spoke to me at the hotel. I wonder how he broke in here. I hope he doesn’t speak to me right here before Mrs. Topnotcher.”
“Oh, Mrs. Topnotcher, what a beautiful tapestry that is over there!”
“And what a lovely chandelier you have.” (Aside.) “I hope that old man has not recognised me.”
As a matter of fact, old Mr. Bullion didn’t know Snobbly was on earth. He merely came over to speak to his old friend, Mrs. Topnotcher, with whom he spent a week at a house-party in Windsor Castle as the guest of King Edward.
