A Jewel of a Coachman.
A Brighton lady wanted a coachman, and one was recommended, whom she interviewed. " I want a very safe and careful driver," she said. " That's me, mum," responded the applicant confidently. " I'm nervous about horses, and I don't want to drive fast, and I don't want to go round the corner with a whirl."
" I know, mum, just what you wants ; them was my orders before, mum." " Where were you engaged last ? "
" Drivin' a hearse, mum." He got the place, and is giving the greatest satisfaction.
