Amusing Trifles and Oddities Across the Page
A collage of quirky notes and vignettes. Mentions sea captains, a dog pedigree dispute, and a chain of fragmented sentences about public life, theaterish banter, a queenly princess, and random global curiosities. Includes references to a mail sorter, the shah of Persia, and a New York expressman with a found check. Diverse, disjointed snippets reflect a late 19th or early 20th century miscellany tone.
