A quaint verse snippet recalls a bashful suitor wooing in a quiet garden where the heroine is won and forces a decisive response. The poem ends with the maiden saying yes to the courting lover.
Fragmentary poem recounting a family visit to a mother's grave with reflection on loss. The speaker recalls a grey dress, a shade over the plot, and a hope that mother would return from a station. The stanza ends with the assertion that the mother's grave lies in the same plot and the family memory endures.
A New York club tale mocks a storyteller who cannot stop, likening it to a Mississippian earth quake story with endless digressions. It scorns memory that hurls every tiny detail at listeners, citing Widow Bedett as a prime example of perpetual storytelling and its social nuisance.
An aging man, given weeks to live, persuades a doctor to let him try a plan. He recalls a 45 year old grievance with an elephant and hopes to prove the beast remembers him, wagering that Behemoth will appear in five years. The doctor, moved, cures him to see if the elephant remembers.
Dr. M. Roudoin reports bacteria extracted from earth two yards deep in soil undisturbed for 1,800 years near Troussepol in Vendee. An old Gallic Roman grave yielded charred corpses and animal remains while dust cultures contained cell bacillus and sphareobacteria, suggesting ancient life deep in the grave.
A fragmented dialogue shows Fleece declaring intent to book and express fear for his wife as roaches frighten her, while Belgadore mentions a game with his wife and a negated statement about never being. The readable text presents an odd conversational pairing with personal fear and reference to a game.
A collage of remarks on sleep habits of elites Lord Avebury and Mme Patti, a brief note on Mrs. Taft hosting bridge evenings, and Harry 8. Howland as a young major with the Philippine Scouts. Also references to Kitchener's father, a luxurious palace carpet, and various satirical dictionary entries. Ends with social welfare musings and a paradoxical health quip about living without foods to avoid diseases.
