The Gentleman

“School wasn’t a real passion for the little Richard. The only thing that he really
wanted was to drive one day a beautiful automobile.
One morning at school, he was punished for having not done his homework.
Extremely angry, his teacher told him that he wouldn’t become of anything in
life, that no one would be interested in him and assured him that he would be the
laughing stock of the town.
Thirty years later when Lord Richard Walter Eigler bought himself this magnificent
sports car equipped with 12 in-line cylinders, a certain jealousy was awakened in
his neighbors. His frequent promenades down the streets of Coronda City at the
wheel of his splendid automobile drew envious looks and comments. He wasn’t
bothered by this, to the contrary, he experienced a subtle and soft trembling of
pleasure.”
