A Modern Home Plot and a Pageant of Misery
A narrator visits a housing association offering weekly payments for building lots with added luxuries. He imagines a colony on paid lots, debates town planning, and laughs at costly prospectuses while noting Irish poverty in a lakeside tour. The piece blends humorous observations with social critique and wandering anecdotes.
