On the Piazza and a Rambling Alpine Trek
A rambling narrative mixes social observation at a piazza with a vivid Alpine journey from Simla era notes. The author recalls a wedding feast at a hill fort, the tehsildar’s hospitality, and humorous cultural misunderstandings. The piece also threads in brief reflections on crime and trust in Victorian society, plus bits on Telegraph art and other miscellany.

A Very Painful Vision of Gout and Metamorphosis
A 19th century column defines gout as disturbed retrograde metamorphosis affecting tissue changes in the body. It links corpulence to excess feeding and improper metabolism, discusses inheritance and physical strain, and weaves in anecdotes about social manners and clever quips from contemporaries.
