A collection of wry vignettes about social faux pas at dinners and travel. A hostess maintains composure amid spilled wine and broken china while a waiter confesses ignorance of dishes. A bootleg war anecdote ends with a bunion tale and a jokey marriage quip from a widowed colonel.
A couple discusses improvised survival as a steamer nears sinking. The husband suggests tossing a door to create a makeshift raft while urging his wife to save the infant Robbie. He reassures that he will manage to keep afloat and provide a plan.
A fragmentary column quips about telling a liar by telephone and retreating to the country, advertises a job for a partly outdoors partly behind the counter youth, and quotes a rabid free thinker doubting God with wry replies from a doglike persona.
Johnny frets over his new baby brother whose powerful cries test patience. He asks his mother if angels bounced him, and muses that he does not blame the angels for the bouncing. The tender vignette captures a child’s playful mischief and parental warmth.
