“THE BAYSWATER BROTHERS (whose height is respectively 6 feet 4
inches and 6 feet 11, and the united breadth of whose shoulders extends
to as much as 3 yards, 1 foot, 5 inches) give, respectfully, notice to
the Gentry and Public of Paddington, Kensington, Stoke Newington,
Chelsea, Eaton Square, and Shepherd’s Bush, that they will be most
happy, upon all social and jovial expeditions, such as dinner and
evening parties, as well as tee-total meetings, to escort elderly or
nervous persons in the streets after dark, and to wait for them during
their pleasure, so as to be able to escort them home again in safety. No
suburb, however dangerous, objected to. and the worst garrotting
districts well known, as the Brothers, both BILL and JIM, were for
several months in the Police Force. – Terms, so much a head per hour,
according to the person’s walk of life. A considerable reduction on
taking a party of twelve or more. Distance no object. Testimonials, and
ample security given.”
