His Lordship's Leopard: A Truthful Narration of Some Impossible Facts

The author of this book wrote «Her Ladyship's Elephant» to pass the time and has never considered himself a serious writer. He was pleased to hear that the book made an old lady forget her toothache, but discouraged critics who will try to analyze it as serious literature. He states that if anyone tries to do so, they will face legal action. The book's only value is in explaining the location of a Spanish gunboat during the Spanish-American War, which the media claimed was patrolling the English Channel, but was actually elsewhere. If the information upsets an English bishop, so be it.
