"Will The Telephone Destroy The Telegraph Business?" or "Just For Synk And Magus"

When I heard that dear old Mr. Bell had done it - harnessing electricity to craft his... his "telephone," I was disturbed. Surely such a device is needed in our modern age, what with the post offices relying on their animals. Though no one can question the nobleness of the horse, it surely is a most uncleanly beast, dirtying up the streets of our towne.

Why, with the advent of this "telephone," message-men the world over would need to look for new fields of work. This device is surely a threat to the economy of every well-bred gentleman.

This is almost as terrible as Ferdinand Verbiest and his damed "automocar!"

Stop.

So yeah, I don't really know the span of time atwixt the invention of cars, phones and the fall of telegraphs. So sue me. I just wanted to stick it to Magus, and to a lesser extent, Synk.
