Sydney Smith’s son, keen on horses and sport, caused an awkward pause at a dinner with the bishop of London and other high clergy. He asked a question about Nebuchadnezzar, provoking a sharp remark from Smith and a ripple of laughter as the family joke. The incident shows the tension between sport and sacred company.
The piece compiles literary quips and gibes from various sources including a Chicago Tribune theater line about audience interruptions, a Cincinnati Enquirer joke about fines, a New York World shopping gag, and assorted humorous exchanges. It blends miscellany with ad-like notices for dental offices and lodging, reflecting a collage of period humor and public notices.
