London Jokes and Oddities Span Oddities in Wit
A collage of snippets from London life and beyond features wedding night wanderings, a Siamese cat show entry named Shoh-Pa-Shoh, a cat excused for following its natural propensities, a large bequest to a housekeeper, and humorous bus bench chatter. Also included are civil notes on a cheery church organist, a new Chester solicitor, and a British guard’s one day job for the Duke of Windsor.
