Fragmentary tale from a school scene with a hesitant student
An imperfect OCR fragment narrates a late incident at a school where a principal encounters a fast fleeing pupil and a brief exchange with a timid early learner, ending as a door closes in a dim corridor.
Printing blunders and readers misreadings provide laughs
A reminiscence on compositor humors and proofreader slips from old newspapers. It recounts misprints like Gamaliel for sitting at the feet of a game bird, incorrect births notices, misheard phrases during the Boer War, and mangled Latin lines. The piece closes with a quotation on presence of mind testing native metal.
