Lord Bonkers' Diary: Au contraire

And so another week at Bonkers Hall draws to a close.

Saturday

A fellow with a bone through his nose presents himself at the Hall. "Don’t tell me," I cry, "you have brought me the Reverend Hughes’ shrunken head."

"Au contraire," he replies, "the Holy Man has sent me here to pick up supplies of Shuttleworths and Cow Gum. He has converted us all to Liberalism and told us that we must start campaigning for next May’s election."

Lord Bonkers was Liberal MP for Rutland South West, 1906-10.
