A lively critique of Miss Bowles novel Two Serious Ladies. The author calls the book the screwiest read in ages and notes two main characters Miss Goering the spinster and Mrs Copperfield whose travels and nightlife drive separate, odd vignettes. The piece humorously weighs possible psychological underpinnings while urging readers to enjoy the surface oddities.
