WITNESSED
Scene: Outside one of the local golf houses on Sunday evening. A fair collection of motor-ears, with two very new roadsters, American and English respectively, both very “apple-pie,” washed, cleaned, polished and all extras this morning. Cast: The driver of the English car 'with his passenger as supernumerary. Audience: Myself. Act 1. —Driver of small car, having backed down a slight slope, and desiring to proceed forward, misses his gears, and apparently also his brakes. Result: Nasty dent in other roadster’s back wing. Act 2.—Damage is inspected, and small car driver, having no further opportunity of backing, manages to get away. Act 3.—Well this act is in doubt. It may show the small-car driver doing the proper thing and offering to pay up for a nasty dent in someone else’s 'guard—but, I wonder. So many people forget.
