Art in St Peter's and Alpine Scenery Reflections
The piece surveys St Peter's Cathedral noting few frescoes and mosaic altarpieces, especially Guercino's St Petronilla, praised by critics but seen as harsh in color by some. It then describes a Bernese plain and the Alps, with Conway’s travel vignette of the Dead Plain’s vast, isolated snowfield, followed by miscellany on Irish property trespass and quips about sudden death. It ends with utilitarian home remedies and odd anecdotes.
