About this book
As the New York Times said in 1903, this lesser-known work by Jerome K. Jerome does not display "the wit of Congreve or even the glittering sort Mr. Jerome employs in some of his other books." It takes the form of imaginary conversations between the writer and a number of un-named characters at the afternoon tea table.

Frequently they appear to prefer the sound of their own voice to that of others. Although I couldn't agree with the NY Time
