A narrator revisits a blessed old fire place from childhood. The prose evokes vivid childhood scenes around the fire including apples, popcorn, Greek myths, a cat by the jamb, tongs, kettles, and memories of family life. Now the hearth is dead, the cabin empty, a forget me not growing in the wall as night settles.
A rollicking assemblage of puns and brief gags. Bits on sharp practice, shoes, hats, meters and the navy. A string of quips from various papers includes pithy lines about sailors, arches, wells, pianos, tricks, and a farmer’s humor.
The narrator describes a lush urban villa in Port of Spain with breezes and orchid hung trees, mangoes and hibiscus in bloom, and a mosquito plagued stay. He recalls Bewick’s demon-like portrait and warns of aggressive Trinidad mosquitoes more deadly than any creature met before.
In Hampden Park two pheasants roam unbothered by visitors as a reminder that England enforces strict game laws. Reared game, preserves, and penalties govern killing rabbits or game outside the season. A Prince of Wales estate allows a daily rabbit to poor visitors, while poachers risk prison. Also in Jersey City a dentist petitions for divorce citing cooking and dishwashing duties.
An ad copy warns of Nasal Catarrh with symptoms and claims Sage's Catarrh Remedy offers $500 if not cured, sold for 40 cents. The fragment also includes horticultural notes on a Joan Flowe climbing plant, seed prices, and a customer testimonial praising a firm for helping earn money, with magazine-style notices and advertisements.
An 19th century advertisement asserts Warner's Safe Cure can cure many kidney related ailments once deemed incurable. It cites a decade of claims, emphasizes kidney health, guarantees purity and testimonials, and notes laboratories in seven regions with Dr. endorsements and patient recoveries.
A garbled text fragment discusses fragile health, deceptive charms, and a vague mention of arrest related to Pierce’s Golden remedy. It references medical disorders and urges readers to consult a druggist and doctor, implying a public health or fraud warning context.
