Fragmented wartime column with literary and social notes
A jumble of excerpts features Mrs Elia Espie urging government action on pacifist admissions, musings on Prohibition era temptations, and a collage of cultural references. Included are poems, theatrical mentions, and oddball reflections on fashion, salaries, and a Victorian style scene with Maurine and Aunt Beth.
Adam Scofflaw's Journal Partridge Plea For Sweets
The narrator references a hen partridge demanding sweetmeats while noting a tale of flattery, talk to calm, and warnings of ailments from sweets. A humorous, archaic voice laments staged cravings and misadventures in pursuit of candy amid a mock court scene.
