BOARDING HOUSE LIFE: 1. Sometimes there is a great scarcity of men (on one occasion the proportion was 7 to 1), the one being in great request until it was discovered that he was married. 2. It is decidedly uncomfortable, when there are two parsons stopping in the house who differ as to their views. 3. Wine and beer extra, Everybody brings the beverage he or she likes best, some in medicine bottles, some in mugs. 4. Whatever happens there are always two people who manage to enjoy themselves by critisising their neighbours. 5. At times the hostess is scrimpy, which entails private cooking in the bedrooms. 6. For some nights before you left you were haunted by an album, in which you were supposed to write something witty and funny. 7. Usually there is a half-pay captain who sets an example in manners by lighting his candle at the gas, 1890 engraving
