Mr. Shaw camo off lightly, but ■ bis wife's injuries were more serious, and their programme had to bo abandoned. : Mr. Shaw with nothing »o do seemed to Mr. Shaw such a waste of good time that > ho rat down at his wife's bedside and began a novel. I suppose we shall see it ' in print seme day. The best things cften . come by chance. Had Bunyan never been * in prison be might not have bad time to j give us "The Pilgrim's Progress"; if Mr. Dodgson had not been bothered for a story by young Alice Liddell he would never ' have become Lewis CarrolL
