    The elderly Madame D’Arberville had to be reminded that she was going in a sedan chair and not a portable outhouse.

    Madam is on her way to watch the famous magician, David Copperfield. What Madam doesn’t realize is that she won a golden ticket, and that this sedan chair will be sawed in half as part of the show.

    I think the contraption is big enough for Madame D’Arberville, but I’m not certain if her wig will fit.

    Her carriers always referred to it as the litter box…

    That’s some Grecian bend she’s got there. I think her corset cover must have shrunk in the wash.

    Years of sedan travel had had a deleterious affect on madam’s posture. But while it had been bad for her back, it did help her display some nice “back”. You other guys can’t deny.

    She had practiced getting in and out of the new sedan chair so often that she got stuck in position.
