The Red Cross Arise : t V®ta, Ppnk House and all, but he wasn’t vary impressed. He’s a much travelled bloko, my brother is. Since the time the Old Man ( or the Pater) its the same thing ) kicked me out hero as a remittance man an’ my brother came into the money. • : : HE’S travelled round the world in style & get tin’ a good eyeful of the facts of life. He’s just over from the States •where he’s been on tour lecturing on the ” Real Truth About Things Big success it was too. : : : Basil Rupert do Wartffig uh his name is,but he’s called ” Lowdown ” for short on account of bein’ so well informed about things and always givin’ the lowdown on ’em.
