Over three hundred quick stories, each under its own punning headline: a small boy who refuses every bribe to leave a courting couple alone, a raw Highland recruit at the depot, schoolmasters, curates, tramps and husbands. Most run to a single paragraph, and many of the Irish and Scots jokes lean on the stock characters of the period.
