Odd Confluence of St. Olave's Southwark Officials

A reader notes a remarkable year in which London’s lord mayor and Sheriff Pilcher share St. Olave's Southwark as their parish and Alderman Farncomb, elected recently, also hails from that parish. The correspondent questions the likelihood of St. Olave's being so prominently crowned.

Three Sovereigns Meet In Paris Anecdote Told By Giebe

The tale recalls 1814 in Paris when Czar Alexander, the King of Prussia, and the Emperor of Austria walk incognito near the Tuileries. A provincial asks their names and is told by each of the sovereigns who they are, culminating in the Great Mogul introducing himself with theatrical pride.

Poets versus Musicians in a Covent Garden Remix

An amusing anecdote arises from the Carnival of Naples at Covent Garden where a misdirected manuscript led to nonsense verses being read as Dimond’s poetry. The author, manager, and composer all shared surprised smiles as the mis-scribed lines drew unexpected charm from the stage reading.
