Tales From a London Train and Cremona Villa Madcap Nights
A narrator recalls encounters with eccentric figures: a hospitable but mad horse dealer, Mr. Tibbets, who boasts of a Straduarius and a horse fit for the Oaks, and a vapor bath impresario Mr. Mutten who glowers through a perilous experiment. The tale alternates between wit and folly as social satire, with a club tale of a toadily attended dinner and a near escape from a dangerous bath ordeal.
