The âCardâ in question is Edward Henry Machin - His mother called him âDenryâ. This light-hearted story is of his rise from humble beginnings as the son of a washerwoman and sempstress in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, in the pottery towns (which Arnold Bennett christened âThe Five Townsâ) of the English Midlands; how, by his own wits, enterprise and ânerveâ he rose to wealth, married bliss and public recognition as the youngest-ever mayor of his home town.
ââAnd yet,â demanded Councillor Barlow, âwhatâs he done? What great cause is he identified with?
ââHeâs identified,â said the speaker, âwith the great cause of cheering us all upâ.â (summary by Andy Minter)
