It is avowed mission in life of Frederick Altamont Cornwallis, fifth Earl of Ickenham,
to spread sweetness and light come what may.
From boyhood his has been a gay and happy disposition, and in the autumn of his life he still

on a sweetness-and-light-spreading excursion. On this occasion the hapless object of his

crony, Bill Oakshot. Invariably a mixed blessing, this time the gleam in Uncle Dynamite's eye
heralds trouble of a major kind...
