Beerbohm marvels that a fire in the grate seems natural to us, confesses the agonies of seeing people off at railway stations, recalls a midnight express, lingers over a club in ruins, and reflects on dejection, impostures and the minor absurdities of London life. Each piece is short, polished and slyly self-mocking.
