Funnicus was left by his parents with his tutor, who was not only a scholar, bat also what is generally known as a “jolly good fellow.” When the young man discovered that his tutor had the photograph of a beautiful young woman and had just received a note from her, asking for an appointment that evening, he insisted that he be taken along. The tutor agreed, but not with much enthusiasm. It was a case of love at first sight when Funnicus saw his tutor’s friend and he could hardly keep his eyes from her, although he was quite busy at the same time with the sumptuous meal purchased by his host, the tutor. When the teacher strolled away for a little walk and Miss Irma retired to her room to prepare her luggage, our friend decided to have a smoke. But the cigar he chose was a little too strong and the result was that be became deathly sick. Miss Irma discovered this and dragged the young man to her room so that his tutor would not see him in such a condition. But the tutor returned at just that moment and so the young man took refuge in a trunk which was being packed. The express man removed the trunks and Funnicus had a nice little trip inside one of them until he frightened two guards half to death by raising the lid while they were seated on it playing cards. He then escaped and continued the journey with Irma.
