Captain Foulenough > |
The Tiddlehampton and
South Mince by-election has been further complicated by the extraordinary news that
Captain de Courcy Foulenough, D.T., has decided to stand as an Independent Progressive
Liberal, that being the only interest not represented up to this moment. Captain Foulenough staggered his audience, disgusted what is left of his Committee, and roused his opponents to fury last night by reading out messages of support which he claimed to have received from nine Cabinet Ministers, Mr Clark Gable, Mr Noël Coward, Mr Anthony Eden, Mr Joe Louis, Bishop Mrs Riquette, Tubby Garstang, Mamie Dugold, Harry Armitage, Babs Thornycroft, Trixie, Vi, Polly, Ethel, Madge, Bobo, Curly, Mabel, Dot, Irma, 'Coppernob' Halsey, Flo, Nan, Gert, Myra and Olive. Miss Boubou Flaring appears to have ceased almost entirely from being a rival candidate. A telegram from the National Liberal Club asked, "What are you doing?" Her reply - or perhaps it was the Captain's reply - raised a storm. It was: "Nothing of which my mother would not approve a kiss here a kiss there a whispered word in the lanes were you guys never young." |
