A MOVE ON THE "FORTY" In Paris, in Rome, in Florence, in Berlin, in Viennain fact, over half the face of Europe, from the Pyrenees to the Russian frontierI am now known as "The Count's Chauffeur." An Englishman, as my name George Ewart denotes, I am of cosmopolitan birth and education, my early youth having been spent on the Continent, where my father was agent for a London firm. When I was fourteen, my father, having prospered, came to London, and established himself as an agent in Wood Street, City, representing a great firm of silk manufacturers in Lyons. At twenty I tried City life, but an office with a high stool, a dusty ledger, and sandwich lunches, had no attraction for me. I had always had a turn for mechanics, but was never allowed to adopt engineering as a profession, my father's one idea being that I should follow in his footstepsa delusive hope entertained by many a fond parent
