Jerome (1859-1927) Series: Comedy ISBN: Most famous for his classic, comic novel Three Men in a Boat (1889), which describes a rowing holiday on the Thames enjoyed by three men and their dog, Jerome K. Jerome first published The Dancing Partner three years later in Novel Notes. It is about as black as humour can get. An inventor creates a machine that can dance with all the girls at new society balls, but the results are far from satisfactory. Still in mechanical vain, this edition includes Jerome's little-known short, comic essay, Clocks. Buy Title: Here We Are A Telephone Call Author: Dorothy Parker (1893-1967) Series: Comedy ISBN: Dorothy Parker is remembered as much today for her sparkling short stories as for her poems and her witty remarks. In Here We Are a newly wedded couple prepares for the first evening of a honeymoon in New York. Both he and she face the stark possibility that marriage may not be quite as jolly as they had each anticipated. In A Telephone Call Parker's satiric wit is focussed on a hapless and frantic girl as she waits impatiently by the telephone praying that her lover will ring.

    Extractions: STORY PAGE About the author of our story. SAKI The Open Window "My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel," said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen; "in the meantime you must try and put up with me." Framton Nuttel endeavoured to say the correct something which should duly flatter the niece of the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come. Privately he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on a succession of total strangers would do much towards helping the nerve cure which he was supposed to be undergoing. "I know how it will be," his sister had said when he was preparing to migrate to this rural retreat; "you will bury yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever from moping. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there. Some of them, as far as I can remember, were quite nice." Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction, came into the nice division. "Do you know many of the people round here?" asked the niece, when she judged that they had had sufficient silent communion.

    Extractions: William Noel Hodgson was a Georgian poet in the style of Rupert Brooke . He volunteered in 1914, and served with the Devonshire Regiment. In September, 1915, during the Battle of Loos, "[u]nder heavy enemy fire Hodgson, three other young officers and a hundred men held a captured trench for 36 hours without reinforcements or food. Hodgson was awarded the Military Cross" (Powell, A Deep Cry 99). Marching out of this hell-hole, Hodgson composed the incredibly resilient " Back to Rest ." In 1916, Hodgson began writing stories, poems, and essays about the front under the pseudonym "Edward Melbourne." Hodgson was especially fond of telling tales about his resourceful "batman" (his aide). His pieces enjoyed an audience in the leading magazines of the day. As his unit waited to move up to its jumping off position at the Somme Offensive, Hodgson composed his last poem " Before Action ." On July 1st, Hodgson's battalion attacked the German trenches south of Mametz. "At the end of the day the bodies of 159 men, including Noel Hodgson were found. The body of Hodgson's batman was lying at his side. The men of the 9th Battalion were buried in their Mansel Copse trench, and a notice above the trench read: "The Devonshires held this trench. The Devonshires hold it still" (Powell

    Extractions: (The enjoyment of the Anchovy by the upper class is key to this passage. Note also Reginald's comments on hors d'oeuvres in the afterlife. The Schoolmarm ) "A most variable climate," said the Duchess; "and how unfortunate that we should have had that very cold weather at a time when coal was so dear! So distressing for the poor." "Some one has observed that Providence is always on the side of the big dividends," remarked Reginald. The Duchess ate an anchovy in a shocked manner; she was sufficiently old-fashioned to dislike irreverence towards dividends. Reginald had left the selection of a feeding-ground to her womanly intuition, but he chose the wine himself, knowing that womanly intuition stops short at claret. A woman will cheerfully choose husbands for her less attractive friends, or take sides in a political controversy without the least knowledge of the issues involved-but no woman ever cheerfully chose a claret. "Hors d'oeuvres have always a pathetic interest for me," said Reginald: "they remind me of one's childhood that one goes through, wondering what the next course is going to be like and during the rest of the menu one wishes one had eaten more of the hors d'oeuvres. Don't you love watching the different ways people have of entering a restaurant? There is the woman who races in as though her whole scheme of life were held together by a one-pin despotism which might abdicate its functions at any moment; it's really a relief to see her reach her chair in safety. Then there are the people who troop in with an-unpleasant-duty-to-perform air, as if they were angels of Death entering a plague city. You see that type of Briton very much in hotels abroad. And nowadays there are always the Johannes-bourgeois, who bring a Cape-to-Cairo atmosphere with them what may be called the Rand Manner, I suppose."

    Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Saki (1870-1916) - Pseudonym of Hector Hugh Munro Scottish-born writer whose stories satirize the Edwardian social scene not so seldom in macabre and cruel light. Munro's columns and short stories were published under the pen name 'Saki', who was the cupbearer in The Rabaoyat of Omar Khayyam , an ancient Persian poem. Saki's stories were full of witty sayings - such as "The cook was a good cook, as cooks go; and as cooks go she went." - and included coded references to homosexuality. "A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanations." (from The Square Egg Hector Hugh Munro was born in Akyab, Burma (now Myamar) as the son of Charles Augustus Munro, an inspector-general for the Burma police. Her mother, the former Mary Frances Mercer, died in 1872 - she was killed by a runaway cow in an English country lane. Munro was brought up in England with his brother and sister by a pair of strict and awful aunts who used frequently the birch and whip. Munro was educated at Pencarwick School in Exmoth and the Bedford Grammar School. From 1887 he traveled with his family in France, Germany and Switzerland. In 1891 his father settled in Devon where he worked as a teacher. In 1893 Munro joined the Burma police. He returned to England three years later and started his career as a journalist, writing for Westminster Gazette In 1900 appeared Munro's first book, THE RISE OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE, a historical study modelled upon
