Mountebanks and a Whistling Fish Tale in 19th Century Snapshots
Anecdotes describe a camel and ass exhibition with a sultan’s edict, a dancing beast, and a crowd's amusement. Another piece relates fears of urban hazards from electro magnetic tricks, a Canal Street scare, and a humorous Whistler goldfish anecdote from a hotel window.
Cured at Last and the Sun Shines on a Long Imprisonment
A man recounts a twelve year imprisonment ending in a mental recovery. He recalls his return home to a fainting wife and two boys, a young woman, and a physician declaring him cured after years in the asylum. The piece blends escape, family reaction, and a final sense of restored mind. Also included is a short anecdote about Stanley and Uganga Africans and a supposedly telling monkey skin remark.
