A Quick Change in a Desire for Comfort on Motor Trip

A fragmented vignette describes Mr Newenr planning a flat trip in a newly tinged motor car with a chauffeur named Wil Har. He demands steady speed within legal limits for comfort, not excitement, and pushes for faster driving on a smooth road. The tale shifts to an odd fable about a monkey and goat and a tale of restraint and risk, ending with a comic misadventure and a disappointed response from a woman narrator.
