Armidale Chronicle in Armidale, New South Wales

Impetuous talk and playful mischief in a village

A collage of brief vignettes and humor from a bygone era. Scattered scenes include a Sunday school quip about pennies, a painter bragging about tricks, a British officer’s pun filled anecdotes, a Brigh citizen recollection, a health book offer, a royal anecdote about Frederick William, a coastguard line during a wreck, a hungry parson in a restaurant, and a catarrh and pile treatment notice.
