The third gathering of newspaper essays by the editor of the Daily News, written under the pen name Alpha of the Plough. In a few pages each he defends wasps, confesses to untidiness, digs artichokes under the eye of a dog called Jemima, climbs Pillar Rock, and turns over habits, possessions, bores and the art of the perfect retort.
