A fragmentary tale recalls a Paris printing works turning out vast calendars and confetti, a sisterly curiosity, and a series of chance events leading to fortune. The story follows Bemused observers and the launch of a new confetti industry tied to a fortunate encounter and a penny postcard offering a job.
A rough narrative follows a farmer who rejects a fancy offer after killing a critter for delicacies, while a traveling actor proclaims fame in a small village. Interwoven are quirky scenes from Japan and Belfast with curious dialogue about seating, sports, and odd botanical wartime plantings.
Fragmentary note reflects a shift from a church to a larger space in Chicago due to rising costs. The terse line hints at financial pressures and the move to a new temple setting. Specific church name or date is not provided in readable text.
A fragmented text describes Bos Tamor predicting a woman before a scaffold with an executioner nearby, noting a jewellike vision of the guillotine before its invention. Portions recount a Mrs Hubbard anecdote, a cupboard, and neighbors, plus a list of historical and literary curiosities including Fifteen Kinds of Kisses and a note on the Earl of Rochester’s maiden speech, all in a collage of 19th and early 20th century miscellany.
A collage of curiosities recounts ancient beliefs in electric eels used as remedies, a Russian czar and Bismarck anecdote, a will invoking a rooster, tales of prophetic tortoise stones, a fable about a housekeeper and Hungry Higgins, and notes on zircons and opals.
