The Prince of Valguanera and His Grotesque Garden
A historical sketch describes the early 20th century prince of Valguanera noted for vast grotesque statue ensembles in palatial grounds near Palermo. Brydoné’s portrait recalls 600 sculptures, a palace filled with odd arches and teacup columns, and government threats to demolish the display. The piece also relays a melancholy cuckoo excerpt contrasting American and European species, noting the rain crow call and Burroughs’s reflection on isolation.

Mrs Scribbler and a Newspaper Man Warn of Marriage
A comic dialogue notes a school friend advising against marrying a newspaper man. She recalls marrying one and enduring daily papers from across the country. The back and forth touches on bargains and a cartoonish view of presses. Additional snippets mention skin care products and a widowed mother seeking work for her son amid sharp social exchanges.
