Instructions describe crafting handles for small files and chisels from wooden parts of a carrier. Heat the tang of an old file, burn a matching hole in the handle, drive the tang in tight, and rely on the pre-burnt hole to prevent splitting. For larger files, use ends from existing handles as shown in Works. Advance.
The poem laments aging skepticism toward grand speeches. The speaker recalls youthful awe for orators and heroes, then notes modern rhetoric feels performative. Repeating refrain points to disillusion with lofty talk versus action.

A skeptical account questions a long circulated tale linking Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to German influence in Britain. It suggests Cambridge professor Goldwyn Smith shaped Edward VII’s diplomacy toward Franco-Russian rapprochement and a later Triple Entente, while asserting Victoria’s distrust may have sought his removal.
