Two Voices Episode in Life of Opera Manager
A young opera manager runs a successful comic troupe and hires Leonaretta Traver who discovers a contralto range. Her voice shifts from soprano to contralto then back to soprano and even baritone, prompting a bold salary offer and a marriage proposal. Her twin brother Leonard appears, complicating the plan as the manager insists on two salaries and expenses.

Fate of the Resolute and the Franklin Arctic Saga
A dramatic account traces the abandoned Resolute ship found in Davis Strait after a long cruise from Melville Island. An American vessel retrieved it, ceremoniously handed to Britain, and officials speculated Franklin might still live as the ship toured Osborn House and Cowes. The tale ends with the Admiralty's decision to break up the vessel.

Why She Couldn't by St Tonia republic parody
A garbled fragment from a historical page mixes mock dialogue about a man wearing a wig and odd lists of items and characters. The text shows satirical quips from periodical sources like St Tonia republic and London Answers, with stray phrases about fashion, humor, and weather or mood. The piece reads as a collage of clipped sarcasm and misread OCR names.
