Chapter Thirty.
Hints to Would-be Caravannists.
“We live to learn ilka day,
The warld wide’s the best o’ skools,
Experience too, so auld folks say,
Is just the jade for teachin’ fools.”
Nemo.
I.
First catch your hare. That is, get your caravan.
“Oh!” I think I hear some one say, “I shall hire one.” Take Punch’s advice to people about to marry—“don’t.”
And the same advice holds good as regards secondhand caravans.
Mind, I do not say that you may not be able to meet with a good and clean one, but, woe is me, there is a chance of guests, in old caravans of the gipsy class, that you would not care to be shipmates with.
