A collage of quips and vignettes features a kind hearted man avoiding a loan, then joking about his conscience and money. It recalls literary figures and critics, French manners, and English theater alongside tales of Shakespearean birthday echoes and social foibles. The piece weaves reflections on England, France, and artnews with humorous misreads of religion and politics.
A discussion on snake bite remedies contrasts Bruntingon and Greengrass with vinegar as an effective treatment if applied soon after a bite. The piece notes incisions to drain venom, and cites 29 recoveries. It shifts to a London Street tale describing Downing Street as the British center, its American links, and the Wilthrops. It ends with a traveler’s anecdote of the Rev Robert Montgomery and a rural Scots curate.
