Forgetfulness and Bachelor's Club reminiscence in 19th century prose
A fragmentary column blends a poem about memory and forgetfulness with a nostalgic sketch of the Bachelor's Club revival. It recounts past social balls at City Hotel and Niblo's, the club’s purpose to unite youth and manners, and a colorful scene with a floor manager role and a joke about marriage. The piece shifts to a scene of Max, a bachelor of means, amid a gloomy room, then hints at his eventual decision to marry and the social commentary on bachelor life.
