AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Two friends, inexperienced in driving horse-drawn carriages, attempt to drive from Richmond to Bondi for a birthday picnic, with calamitous results. They learn that bravado does not defeat ignorance and inexperience, and years later the lesson is brought to mind when one of them is invited to become a political representative.
