Saving and Doings Story of an Automobile
The tale centers on Carle Johnston once private secretary to the Duke of Manchester and his marriage to Nellie Neustretter of Paris. Johnston, cousin to Lord Anglesey, traveled to America with a conceit of romance or commerce and an automobile, stirring social chatter in Cincinnati. Rumors claimed aristocratic proximity, a vanished nobleman, and a repainted car sent from Paris with expense help. Nellie Neustretter appears linked to the Willie K. Vanderbilt divorce case, adding to the gossip surrounding Johnston's fleeting presence.
