"The Veteran Cricketer" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic. My old cricketer was seized, he says, some score of years ago now, by sciatica, clutched indeed about the loins thereby, and forcibly withdrawn from the practice of the art; since when a certain predisposition to a corpulent habit has lacked its natural check of exercise, and a broadness almost Dutch has won upon him.

"The Pleasure of Quarreling" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.

Perhaps people do not know how easy it is.

"How I Died" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic. It is now ten years ago since I received my death warrant.

It only occurred to me yesterday that I had been dodging-missing rather than dodging-the common enemy for such a space of time.

"Dunstone's Dear Lady" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic. The story of Dunstone is so slight, so trivial in its cardinal incidents, such a business of cheap feathers and bits of ribbon on the surface, that I should hesitate to tell it, were it not for its Inwardness, what one might call the symbolism of the thing. Frankly, I do not clearly see what that symbolism is, but I feel it hovering in some indefinable way whenever I recall his case.

"On Schooling and the Phases of Mr. Sandsome" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic. I do not know if you remember your "dates."

"The House of Di Sorno: A Manuscript Found in a Box" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic. And the box, Euphemia's.

"Bagarrow" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic. Frankly, I detest this Bagarrow.
