An ongoing commentary by the anonymous I about that rumbunctious rapscallion, Colonel Reginald R. Farquhear, Royal Camel Corps (rtd.) whose trials and tribulations are found in 'The Travel Journal of Colonel R Farquhear 1886-1911', and including occasional commentary and repartee by the Colonel himself.

Doctor Yorrick's Homemade Appelgebak - Home Delivered!






Overheard at a recent dinner party at Miss. Leonora's house:

Miss. Leonora: And what do YOU think of the good Doctor's tarts, Colonel?
The Colonel: Yum!! Yum!!! Just right for this old Colonel's tum!!
How deliciously delightful!!!

(Customers please note the following statement by the vendor - and especially Mlles. Isabel et Leonora)

And all delivered direct to your door on his very own bicycle built for two (with attached trailer) by the good (but sometimes a tad naughty) Doctor!

The Colonel: Ahem!  All unattached ladies between Lawson and Lithgow also please take note. The Doctor is also available for pleasant rides 'around and about'!!)

[N.B. The Colonel wishes it known that the directly preceding statement was added under extreme duress, namely the potential revelation of the Colonel's secret camel-breeding methods of which 'nothing further will ever be said' - harrumph!!]
