Tennyson and a World of Curious Tales in an Odd Column

It recounts a farmerlike tale of a girl asking the poet if he is Tennyson, a humorous exchange, and notes on public temperament, while also surveying New Zealand birds, including kiwis, albatrosses, and penguins, and describing wildlife reserves and tourist impacts.
