Epigraph: 'I chatter, chatter as I go.' / - Tennyson
Dedication: To my first friend and my best friend, who has heard more of my chatter than any one else, and is not tired of it yet; who has taught me the beauty of cheerfulness: To my Mother I dedicate this my first book.
'The papers here gathered together are not essays, but just what the title implies - informal chats about one thing and another, which have appeared from time to time in The Adelaide Observer and The Evening Journal...for more than two years.' (Source: Preface)
