From Mrs Doraine Potts
Sir: Anyone contemplating investment in the railways would be well advised to read Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark. Among other strategies, the Bellman and his crew "threatened its life with a railway share". If this isn't a disincentive to purchase, I don't know what is!
Yours faithfully,
Doraine Potts
