Flavia and the Sunday Society a Satiric Portrait
A long prose sketch satirizes Flavia, a fashionable, pious socialite who spends lavishly, judges the poor, attends church and theatre, and chronicles weekly gossip. The piece contrasts her claimed virtue with self indulgence and meticulous care for body and dress, ending with a note on her unlikely salvation. The second excerpt reviews a political pamphlet on the war, arguing for peace through Austria and cautioning about France and Bavaria, concluding that peace serves the House of Austria. The item closes with an epitaph on a joint burial and a theatre listing for Sadler's Wells programs tonight ending with The Tempest-Colombine.
