'The Flaneur of Sydney' congratulates the 'Chefs de Bourgeoisie' of Sydney for preventing any beggars from coming to the attention of H. R. H. Prince Alfred during the prince's visit to New South Wales. The 'Flaneur' quotes from Thomas Hood's 'Miss Kilmansegg and Her Precious Leg: A Golden Legend' to support his tongue-in-cheek praise.
The 'Flaneur' goes on to take aim at the remuneration provisions for civil servants and the snobbishness of using French terms in preference to acceptable English equivalents.
