Sinopsis
Excerpt from Kipling Day; By; Day
Have you ever seen a crowd at a famine relief distribution? You know then how the men leap into the air, stretching out their arms above the crowd in the h0pe of being seen, while the women dolorously slap the stomachs of their children and whimper. I had sooner watch famine relief than the White man engaged in what he calls legitimate competition. The one I understand. The other makes me ill.

Excerpt from Kipling Day; By; Day
January Fifth
It is a venerable fact that, if a man or woman makes a practice of, and takes a delight in, believing and spreading evil of people indifferent to him or her, he or she will end in believing evil of folk very near and dear.
Watches of the Night
January Sixth
Shun - shun the Bowl! That fatal, facile drink Has ruined many geese who dipped their quills in't,
Bribe, murder, marry, but steer clear of Ink Save when you write receipts for paid-up bills in't.
There may be silver in the "blue-back" - all I know of is the iron and the gall.
The Man Who Could Write
January Seventh
Niver show a woman that ye care the snap av a finger for her, an' begad she'll come bleatin' to your boot-heels!
The Courting of Dinah Shadd
January Eighth
All we can do is to learn how to do our work, to be masters of our materials instead of servants, and never to be afraid of anything.
