AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Literary humour. A newspaper editor physically punishes his office boy for a misdemeanour and is suitably punished. The boy no longer protects him from visits by aspiring writers and he must deal with an aspiring poet, a feminist old maid, a raging Irishman, and a sentimental young lady before he sees the error of his ways.
