Idle Chatter

far be it from me to question my father but I warned him against the cultivation of potatoes at Lake Park. his insistence has invited rather unseemly speculation by our neighbours with regard to our family.

the least defamatory of which suggests our need, presumably due to an inability to pay higher prices for foodstuffs out of season, to store food for the winter-- a sure sign of reversed fortunes. the most offensive comments insinuate an Irish heritage.

Roustabout

for once I agreed with the insufferable Countess Ellen Olenska when she said, "It seems stupid to have discovered America only to make it into a copy of another country".

despite its many faults, Nebraskashire is truly unique. the employ of Old World techniques (particularly those of the French) in city planning insults the American ingenuity I so admire and results in a rather muddled composition.
