A sentimental vignette from The Star editorial page recalls a grandmother who momentarily relives youth as her granddaughter Eve seeks permission to marry. The scene shifts between the lilac shaded pane, orchard bloom, and a moonlit room where two generations meet and affirm love and hopeful futures. The piece ends with a quiet reflection on romance and lasting treasures.
A narrator recalls an uproarious evening at a country house near London. A supposed burglar slips in for warmth, is discovered by a pistol wielding host, then outwitted by a calm patrol as dawn approaches. The humor centers on social pretensions and domestic bravado.
A Belgravia tale recalls a burglar who, after a night of crime, retrieves his boots with a mounted partner. The narrator laments the wasted supper and coin and notes the burglar’s unyielding belief that his misfortune stems from virtue rather than fate.
Dr. Dio Lewis warns that excess eating, especially of concentrated foods, leads to fever, dyspepsia, and other illnesses. He recalls a German city water poisoning incident and shares his personal rule to eat what is planned, with an emphasis on moderation and mindful plate coverage.
The piece argues leaves are a valuable dry bedding material and soil amendment. Dry leaves supply phosphate, potash, and lime, absorb barn liquids rich in nitrogen, and, when soaked with cattle liquids, become readily usable plant food via decomposition. It warns against wideleaf woodland theft but supports gathering leaves near buildings and fences in dry weather for winter storage.
