Or the one about the famous and glamourous debutante of the year, Nellie Otwhistle ... pursued furiously by all the eligible bachelors in London, the most persistent of whom was Sir Gus De Vere. Sadly, he was wasting his time as Nellie lived only to sail, and would take to the water in every kind of craft known to man rather than spend the night dancing and feasting like the other young women.One tragic night, the young man pleaded and begged with our heroine as she stood in a flat bottomed boat, but impervious she slowly zig-zagged away...... Nellie the debutante tacked her punt and said good-bye to the Sir Gus (heeheeeheee)
