December 24. - I am a poor man, but I would gladly give ten shillings to find out who sent me the insulting Christmas card I received this morning. I never insult people; why should they insult me? The worst part of the transaction is, that I find myself suspecting all my friends. The handwriting on the envelope is evidently disguised, being written sloping the wrong way.

Obscure, but fascinating!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Diary Of A Nobody (Paperback)
I bought this as a gift for my father. He and I are both fans of the works of Gilbert & Sullivan, and George Grossmith became arguably the most famous singer in the original casts, so I bought this as an obscure amusement. It turns out that this a very well-written and amusing story, that shouldn't be as obscure as it is!
