Squaring the circle and other oddities from a moralizing era

A collage of humorous vignettes from a past century, featuring a classroom riddle about a circle, workers and observers in a Houston setting, a tutor testing a pupil, a taxi ride with a child passenger, a conductor and director dialogue, and various comical exchanges. The sketches weave quips about daily life, travel, quirks of language, and social mores, preserving period voice and local flavor.
