Enterprising suitor and odd insurance of royalty tales
A breezy suitor pressures a father for consent to marry his daughter while joking about a bond for the engagement ring. The piece then recounts private individuals insuring royal lives, noting high premiums and likely multiple policies on Queen Victoria and other royals. It also covers eccentric wills and curious anecdotes from Chambers Journal and a note on New England farming and the giant Maximin.
