English visitors laugh at jokes in Chicago tale
A mixed company of English and Chicagoans share dinner stories and songs. An amused English guest fails to see humor until a joke is attributed to a dead man who supposedly just died ten years earlier, prompting a quiet punchline. The scene shifts to Marietta von Leclair’s early training tale and a remark about a calf-like listener. The note closes with a tidbit on China’s ancient wheat cultivation and its global bread role.
