Introducing ^Jerry'
Here he is ..one ofthe brightest boys that ever stepped within the pages of a bright book ... for a few minutes! Jerry has a profound know ledge of "joie de vivre" and is known to every Club from the Athenteum to the Junior Slate, besides every Bar from China to Peru. He doesn't like regular employment— of the kind you and I know—but we'll guarantee his sticking the present job he's on. And that's as compere-extraordinary to those good things enumerated on the following pages. He's tried 'em all at one time or another, so you can take his advice without hesitation.... Jerry knows! "Here,I say ..." The Discerning Disciple has just chipped in. Who is he?.... Oh,a dry old stick Jerry collected a few days ago. He was hanging round a still in the Highlands delicately sniffing the heather-laden breeze
... waiting for the next bus back to the West End and looking for a kindred spirit. Hefound it in Jerry. "See here, Jerry," plaintively murmured the D.D.,"there are a whole heap ofgoodfolk with their products outside,and we've got to intro duce them. Well, who the dickens comes first? Wecan't push one good laddie before the other you know." Jerry smiled the smile of the Just. "Easy, perfectly easy,my dear old Dithering Disciple. ... We juit take'em alphabetically! Come along.... it's time to go!"
