A collection of humorous stories contrasts social foibles with a scholarly report on desert ruins. The anecdotes feature a library quip about Shelley's unbound work, a doctor and three colleagues, a clergyman jurist, a cross eyed party guest, a Scottish wife and a hanged husband, Beecher with an umbrella gag, and a clever churchwoman.
