Humour and moral satire on a lazy neighbor in the street
A satirical piece portrays Humphrey as well meaning but indolent and idle, unable to act even amid rumors of invasion or earthquake. Friends fear his second childhood if he does not awaken, while an incendiary plot against Mr Godfrey’s stage success is discussed along with an investment notice offering freehold ground for long leases.
