In a playful comic tale Old Winter quashes birds and flowers with a cold breath. Summer and Spring stir the land as Winter sleeps beneath his white blanket, until Spring arrives to rouse him and begin her work.
A playful tale shows Old Winter hardening against Spring then retreating as birds crocus and brooks signal warmer weather. Spring seeks Sunman's help and, after a morning chorus, Winter flees vowing to return. The piece ends noting Edna Tichenor as a film star in a recent role.
Ella laments three missing first editions by Montagu D Arcy who lends poorly. A planned exchange among readers leads to returning books and social shaming of D Arcy, as the club conspirators recover their prized volumes and learn the cost of his habit.
The cock’s crow is an old maritime omen of luck and victory for sailors and battleships from Salamis to Fort Fisher. The myth ties to Norse Ragnarock and Apollo sun worship, explaining why cocks crowing amid storms, battles, or drowning searches are seen as portents.
A light verse wishes St Patrick would stroll in at night to ease Irish indigestion and steer the world toward peace and greener days. The poem celebrates saintly wisdom and a peaceful dawn, imagining a kinder, happier era.
The piece traces the name Victoria from Latin roots through medieval and ecclesiastical usage, noting Vincente de St. Paul and Vittoria as variants and linking Victoria to Vittoria and Victorine in France. It highlights the ruby as its jewel, June Friday as lucky day, and claims health benefits and moral guidance from wearing the stone, ending with a fragment from Wordsworth via Michelangelo.
