Explore "A Secret Service" by Fred M. White on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine, Piccadilly, as all the world knows, is the sporting outfitters' shop, which is run by the Honorable John Glasgow. The Honorable John, familiar to a wide circle of friends as "The Mixture," which is a pun when you come to think of it, is the third son of the Earl of Clyde, and in his day was an Admirable Crichton in the world of sport. There is no occasion to tell the public that John Glasgow was a triple blue and a test match player.
To the man in the street, however, he merely represents the typical, healthy British animal who has only one object in life.
