Synopsis
Excerpt from Motor Rambles in Italy
I am considering whether to challenge your friend, Wm. Noles, Esq., before leaving here. When he discovered me the other day, I did not suspect he would publish the fact that I was hobbling around on crutches - especially to the one girl of all others I wanted to keep in ignorance. And yet I might have been justly suspicious from the astonishment which crossed his face as he stopped stock still in the road and gazed at me - and then almost hugged my life out; good old Billy! But the cat has wiggled loose, and his arguments-billy's - have rather convinced me that I am a shade too sensitive; so now, after his clear persuasion that the whole town will not turn out with Opera glasses every time I go upon the street, and with the coming of your wonderful little letter, too, I've determined to shake my ten months of hermit life and stir abroad, taking the aforesaid doctor, both as adviser and companion - a fine fel low who is building carefully and well.
