Wodehouse 1 In a day in June, at the hour when London moves abroad in quest of lunch, a young man stood at the entrance of the Bandolero Restaurant looking earnestly up Shaftesbury Avenue--a large young man in excellent condition, with a pleasant, good-humoured, brown, clean-cut face.

During the business talk which had just come to an end this girl had been making her way up the side street which forms a short cut between Coventry Street and the Bandolero, and several admirers of feminine beauty who happened to be using the same route had almost dislocated their necks looking after her.

And let it be remembered, in favour of Mexican morality--that, for one daring bandolero upon the road, we have a hundred sneaking thieves of the attorney type--stock-jobbers--promoters of swindling speculations-- trade and skittle sharpers--to say nothing of our grand Government swindle of over-taxation--all of which are known only exceptionally in the land of Moctezuma.

And who that other? A _bandolero_! A robber! It was the very wantonness of woe that swept over my heart, whelming it with terrible desolation! I stood like a stranded ship with the huge seas breaking over her.

Whether, as my vanity might have suggested, it was to be attributed to my good looks, or to my Spanish sombrero, flannel shirt, and bandolero air, or to the influence of some propitious star, just then in the ascendant, is a mystery yet to be explained.
