Mr. Finchbutt habitually drives a 15-ton trailer recklessly, ignoring all speed signs, takes turns at 60 per hour and has never been known to heed a stop light. Report: As a baby Jeptha was allowed to pound on highchair with bottle; mother had nine children and was too busy. to restrain his early instinct to spear live goldfish with fork; early schooling was under teachers who failed to send all other pupils home and just concentrate on Jeptha. s CASE 2.—Geoffrey Tuffit, 46, oil truck operator and chronic weaver through dense traffic. Geoffrey has a_ batting average of one bad accident per month, but always seems to get out of it through indifference of authorities. He particularly loves coasting downhill zones. Report: His inclinations are all due to a selfish mother who used to wheel Geoffrey around in a baby carriage unequipped with brakes and horn. The father never read Emily Post. CASE 3.—Twiggsby Cropper, 19, college freshman. Twiggsby feels unnecessarily curbed if asked to do less than 55 per hour in city centers and 70°in suburbs, loves to drive ‘‘no-hands’’ across city playgrounds. Report: From age of six months to year and a half he was allowed to scream at nurse; from age of 3 to 5 instinct to pour hot -porridge on the cat uncurbed. Fatherbought him a velocipede too early and failed to read him the laws on rules of road each night before putting him to bed. CASE 4.—Mrs. Arabella Priggstone, 29.
