An infantry officer reflects on why soldiers rarely reveal feelings in battle. He recalls shells, chaos, and a comrade's dreamlike reaction after a sharp fight. Even amid danger, men stay alert, obey orders, and react with practical courage as shells tear through front lines.
An odd reminiscence recalls Sir William MacCormac, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, at the front with a soldier. He was seen in his studies, taking a light luncheon in his laboratory, listening to a strange exchange about a chemical compound.
In July 1431 a notice declares that future delicate ladies will be served by Bran Scomme the dustman rather than Sir Horace Seymour, amid a broader Ladies Column on fashion. The piece covers garments, blouses, belts, and etiquette for handwriting and invitations, emphasizing practicality and neatness.
A Victorian moral meditation on posthumous theft as drifters and kin plunder a deceased person’s house. The piece details cases of missing money, jewelry, shares, and trade books, often traced to distant relatives or companions who rushed to seize assets before any legal claim. It notes insurers, misused wills, and the cruelty of strangers in the wake of death.
A collage of comic vignettes and snatches of dialogue. The pieces feature flirtatious chatter about proposals and marriage, sly remarks on politics and appearance, and a gallery of married life quirks. Names and places are mostly implied through dialogue, with a playful tone throughout.
