Reflections of a Bachelor on Women and Marriage
Fragmented remarks debate women, marriage, and male faults with cynical humor. Opinions touch on church fashion, bachelors, babies, and the idea that women influence men’s self awareness. The piece wanders with garbled phrases and local color from Laredo.
Wealth and Fear of Death Drive Men to Mad Isolation
A chilling note on dying with dread describes four wealthies who used extreme measures to cheat death. John Islip hid on Bryphil Island, building a swinging cabin and dying at 43 after fear ruined him. Jean Ingelfant wasted years in bed, shunning movement to preserve life. Mrs Holmes, a rich widow, feared germs and lived in two near freezing rooms with carbolic disinfectant, while attendants endured severe conditions. The essay cites such cases to illustrate how riches fuel anxieties about mortality.
