Shrewd

Shocked London bobbies halted repeatedly, last fortnight, a hard-faced, middle-aged woman who sped up and down Piccadilly in a tiny, three-wheeled automobile. Why had it no license? Why had she no license? Shrewd, the woman spoke her alibi: "It hasn't any license, and I haven't any license, because my car hasn't any engine!" While astonished motorcycle bobbies paced her, the hard-faced middle-aged woman peddled potently on a bicycle mechanism and speeded her tiny car up to 25 miles per hour. An official of the firm now marketing "The Taxlessmobile" hinted that several young, pert, pretty female demonstrators had failed to evoke police reprimands for driving without a license. So a hard-faced, middle-aged woman went out to seek trouble, find publicity. The "Taxlessmobile" has three bicycle wheels, mud guards, lamps, windshield, rear view mirror, steering wheel, collapsible top.
