Ain't that a wonderment?

SURPRISINGLY, Mrs Fudd let Elmer bring her new car to training.
Surprising, because the little Cooper S is her pride and joy, and it's not silver, it's gunmetal grey.
When the Lovely Lady Group got back from nearly an hour and a half on the road and in the woods, there was a group of people gathered around the front of Mrs Fudd's car. They beckoned us over, and we found Elmer demonstrating a remarkable gadget.
At the touch of a button, a little stalk comes out alongside each headlight and squirts soapy water back onto the glass to clean it. Ain't that a wonderment, we thought, just like the cowboys in The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid when they see the steam engine going by.
Every time Elmer touched the button and the soapy water stalk came out, we threw our arms in the air and shouted 'Hooray!'. You might have expected the novelty to wear off quite quickly, but it lasted for some considerable time, and by the time we did tire of it, there was quite a crowd and a sizeable pool of soapy water under Mrs Fudd's car.
