Fragmented Victorian jests and court notes from a Boston publisher
A collage of quips and anecdotes travels from Vermont choristers to Philadelphia court comedy. A Boston publisher jokes about binding an Ancient Lyre while hidden devilish Boston influence mocks the task. Other items include a dog tail mischief trial, a dairyman’s cows and hydrant joke, and assorted comic observations from Hartford and Indiana on liquor laws and profile requests.
