A Six-Cylinder Courtship

Edward Salisbury Field

Description

Young millionaire is sitting behind the wheel, waiting for a friend who's dashed into the druggist's with a speck of dust in his eye. Glorious young woman approaches, mistakes his $11,000 foreign import for a car-for-hire. Subterfuge, exposure, reconciliation, romance.

Notes

Love me a chauffeur romance and this one is light, well-written, and charmingly silly. First-person by male MC. Some fun paeans to the gasoline life. Illustrations by Fisher and Underwood. Slim & worth the hour it takes to read. Whatever your mood, you'll smile.
