A PERSONAL APPEARANCE 229 The office of the stationmaster was a glass enclosure open to the waiting rooms of the station. In five minutes we had a tremendous audience. We should have charged admission. Mr. Benson was a bit nonplused. Nothing like this had ever happened to him before— or to me, for that matter. As for Verree, she collapsed in a chair; she thought it was the funniest thing she had ever seen. But we fitted the four suits, then put them back in the trunk, which was sealed and sent back to England. When we were all finished, the douanier was very pleased with himself. He seemed to think that he had solved matters in a most satisfactory manner. He asked for an autographed copy of my photo. I wasn't going to give it to him at first, but then I changed my mind. After all, he was responsible for one of my most successful personal appearances.
