Presence of Mind and Its Perils in London Travel
The narrator reflects on presence of mind as a mixed virtue, recounting railway and cab incidents in which quick wit caused comic, costly, or revealing outcomes. Anecdotes include a first class seat dispute, an umbrella mix up, and a humorous moral about acting with or without thought.
