She had always been precocious, and could analyse her own sensations before she could spell. In fact, she divided her time between making sensations and analysing them ...". Twenty entertaining tales from the annals of the club, including the very funny "Algebra of Love", "The Man in the Ironed Mask", "The Old Young Woman and the New", "The Mysterious Advertiser", "The Beautiful Ghoul", etc. - "Two books for the holiday season, to be read lounging in a hammock, or under the shadow of a cliff, are Mr. Zangwill's 'Old Maids' Club', and Mr. Grossmith's 'Diary of a Nobody'. The former is very droll in places ..." (Cheltenham Looker-On, 20th August 1892). "Worth all the inanities of Jerome K. Jerome and all the thin fun of Barry Pain bundled together" (Glasgow Evening Post, 30th June 1892). Crown 8vo (20cm). viii,326,[ii] + 16pp advertisements dated March 1892.
