A Woman's Promise and Other Witty Anecdotes
A collection of short humorous tales including Henry Carey’s quip about a woman's promise to gain a peerage, a cobra-like tale of a snake swallowing a woodpecker, a Paris street misidentification funnily resolved, Prince Albert and whistling stakes, a traveller at an inn debating tea and coffee, and taxed carts in Mogland with witty inscriptions, plus a farmer rebuttal at a parish meeting reflecting university boasts.
