It was not until we were on our way back from a motor tour through the outlying parts of the district that we were forcibly reminded of his existence. Quite close to Little Bildborough, the only absolutely hostile part of my constituency, we came upon what was really an extraordinary sight. Our chauffeur of his own accord drew up by the side of the road. Eve and I rose in our places.
I have ordered him to ship half a dozen machines if necessary on a special train and I am going to give an exhibition on some land I have hired, over by Little Bildborough, the day after tomorrow." "That's the day of the election!" I exclaimed. "You couldn't put it off, I suppose?" he suggested. "That's the day I've fixed for my exhibition at any rate.
He handed it back to me with a somewhat depressed air. "Seems to kind of lack grit," he remarked, a little doubtfully. "Why don't you go for the other side a bit more?" "Look here!" I suggested, mindful that Eve was waiting for me. "You run down and have a chat with my agent. You'll find him just opposite the town hall in Bildborough. There's a car going down now." "I'm on!" he agreed.
"I told you about that hint we were obliged to give Mr. Bundercombe," Mr. Harrison went on. "I suppose this is the result of it. He seems to have bewitched the whole of Little Bildborough. There's Jonas there, who was due to speak in four places today he will take no notice of anybody.
"Besides, I am quite sure he would do nothing indiscreet. Only yesterday I found him studying a copy of the act referring to bribery and corruption. Dad's pretty smart, you know!" "I do know that," I admitted. "I wish I knew what he was up to, though." The next day was the last before the election. The little market of Bildborough was in a state of considerable excitement.
"My boy," he said, "of all the God-forsaken, out-of-the-world, benighted holes, this Bildborough of yours absolutely takes the cake! For sheer ignorance for sheer, thick-headed, bumptious, arrogant ignorance give me your farmers!" "What's wrong?" I asked him. "Wrong? Listen!" he exclaimed, almost dramatically.
