Milk man, Dumas, and other fragments of wit in London
A jumble of trimmed jokes and anecdotes about a milkman’s cry in London, a provincial editor’s misquotation, and clever quips about doctors, beggars, and social scenes. The piece stitches together humorous vignettes from daily life and notable figures, concluding with an ad for Nicely furnished rooms at the Popular Townage.
