Maria Thingumajig and the World of Names
A humorous tale recalls Maria Thingumajig and her companions as sailors, merchants, and travelers whose names travel in translation. French and Russian mispronunciations lead to comic disguises, and a sailor’s compromise yields new introductions like Mrs. Nancy B and Mrs. Polly C.

Seven Ages of the Chinese in a Bud aiat convent tale
French officer Louis De Chantily recounts discovering a dusty manuscript in a Toakig convent. It presents a Chinese version of the seven ages of man from age ten to seventy, detailing shifts in heart, strength, and duty. The text resembles a moral guide, with observations on love, governance, and old age.
