The young reporter who had just joined the staff of the local paper received an awful warning on the dangers and appalling consequences of making ill-founded statements in print. With this fresh in his mind he set off on his first job, to report the sale of work which was being held in a nearby village. Pale but triumphant he returned, and handed his first copy to the editor. “The bazaar,” it read, “was opened (so it is said) by Mrs Brown, alleged to be the wife of Councillor Brown, commonly supposed to be a more or less highly esteemed tradesman of this town. She was dressed in what some would describe as fashionable attire, and. was supported on the platform by the socalled vicar and other reputed ladies and gentlemen.”
