Excerpt from The Adventures of Young Maverick Canto I My kingdom for a render! As for horses, I have a dozen: of the hobby breed, Come with me and I'll put them through their courses, An easy chair is all the coach you need, A pipe and glass were very well indeed, Unless, I beg your pardon, you're a lady, A cigarette might come within your creed, Though many think the custom somewhat shady, Not being yet in vogue with Mrs. J. 0'Grady. No matter what your sex, or what your drinks, I make my bow, and give you hearty greeting. If any of you somewhat coldly thinks My manner too familiar for first meeting, Already meditating on retreating, One word: I'm shy. This boldness is all bluff. Make not my modesty my own defeating, Bear with me, and you'll find me tame enough, A little dull at times, but seldom really tough. We used to always call our reader gentle, A quaint old fashion, and yet very pretty, It did not quite refer to aspect mental, Nor was it faint attempt at being witty. Old gallantry is past now, more's the pity, The compliment implied of gentle birth, But now the rule of money and of city Has swept gentility quite off the earth, And made plutocracy; whatever that is worth.
