The Little Comedies of Daily Life Sketches

A collection of short comic vignettes about daily life featuring a young dramatist Fitch who writes quickly. Dialogue snippets show playful banter between Bertha and Ethel, a street scene with Willig, and a quip about a library built by popular subscription.

Quips and Snatches From a Dated Parlor Page

A fragmentary collection of jocular exchanges and social banter with snippets about managers, actors, and lovers. Brief quips touch on plays, gossip, a senator's remarks, and humorous takes on marriage, etiquette, and social standing in a light, old newspaper voice.

Fragmented dialogue on unrequited romance and gossip

A sequence of playful quips shows men snubbed by women and a woman who courts attention with the telephone bell. The Rural Exchange notes jealous girls and a boot polisher and hints at a possible New York tour. The piece reads like a comic tableau of social missteps and misfortunes.
