Henry's Hiccup
Henry is the son of the Grand Pasha of Egypt. He is a millionaire living in London but is used to everything being done by his manservant Barker. He has done nothing in his life- and so has no knowledge of travel or of making arrangements.
During the war- he stays in America and returns after the war. He gets married to a young woman- Victoria. During their honeymoon- without Barker- Henry runs into one difficulty after another- travelling third class by train and ship to France and staying in a small room in the George V without making arrangements.
In the end- a flower girl who knew him sarcastically gifts him flowers for his wife- when she realizes that he has no money and forgot to bring any. An apt end to a man who knows nothing and depended on everything for his manservant Barker.
