Proverbic note on market talk and misheard phrases
An up to date local snippet notes muddled sayings about a silk purse and a parked car, with garbled references to wine and champagne prices. It reads like a quirky market chatter column with uncertain quotes and mistaken words.
Fragmented rant on humor and town life in musings
A chaotic passage juxtaposes humor and small town figures. It mentions a grocer, dishwashing disdain, Shakespeare and Bacon hints, Marys genius, old place names, and a folkish tale of a man who lost his eyes in a bramble. The tone is composite and fragmentary.
