1 Buncle spends a week-end in Mexico. He joins a Revolution. He wins. As a reward he is shown the ancient Aztec Temples. He enters the Cortes, and is initiated into the Mysteries. Poking the hontas. Mounting the Zuma. 2 An old priestess tells him a secret. He retires with a ruddy blush. An old priest gives him a phial, explaining that it contains the Liquor of Creation, enabling the owner to create what he wills. The yarn licks creation. 3 At Brighton Station. A crowd. No seats. Buncle creates an armchair. Seats himself. Angry exclamations. Porter politely requests him to move. He refuses. More politeness. Inspector fetched. Indicates distinction between heavy goods traffic and passengers’ luggage. Buncle rises. As porter embraces chair, Buncle changes it into a bag of soot. The train arrives. 4 Buncle seats himself in train, and creates an outsize Newfoundland dog. Inspector objects. Tries to seize dog, which becomes a toy Pomeranian. Inspector grasps air. He sees the Pom, and grabs. Pom becomes hedgehog. Inspector utters cursory remarks and returns to platform. While he examines his hands, hedgehog becomes giraffe, which affectionately licks his ear. caption explains it 5 Inspector desperate. He summons whole station staff, who proceed to drive giraffe away. It becomes an old woman of garrulous type, who prettily thanks them for their courtesy, but appeals to police for protection. As friendly constable shepherds her through crowd, she incontinently becomes a steam-roller. The crowd dissipates, while the steam-roller calmly changes to a child’s perambulator. As the officials approach, this becomes an aeroplane, which rises with soft purring as train bears Buncle away to Preston Park. |
