All the fair ladies about and all the handsome gentlemen out there for this is the day that everyone is saluting that celebrated international figure: Governor Slugwell.

Oh, it's shining so bright into the sunshine and the people are all gazing around, trying to say hello to him. And there's an immense crowd gathering. He's got two blondes on each arm, a king size boutonnière in his button hole and a pound of treys in the toolbox. "Hurray for Slugwell!" "Thank you, my friends." "Lady, will you stand back?!
