..de Bunsen, de Burgh, and de Butts. But it is time that I returned to our hero, Dr. Wallis Budge. Although Budge is a golfer of world-wide experience, having "conducted excavations in Egypt, the Island of Meroe, Nineveh and Mesopotamia," it is upon his mental rather than his athletic abilities that the author dwells most lovingly. The fact that in 1886 he wrote a pamphlet upon The Coptic History of Elijah the Tishbite, and followed it up in 1888 with one on The Coptic Martyrdom of George of Cappadocia (which is, of course, in every drawing-room) may not seem at first to have much bearing upon the tremendous events which followed later. But the author is artistically right in drawing our attention to them; for it is probable that, had these popular works not been written, our hero would never have been encouraged to proceed with his Magical Texts of Za-Walda-Hawaryat, Tasfa Maryam, Sebhat-Le'ab, Gabra Shelase Tezasu, Aheta-Mikael, which had such a startling effect on the lives of all the other characters, and led indirectly to the finding of the blood-stain on the bath-mat. My own suspicions fell immediately upon Thomas Rooke, of whom we are told nothing more than "R.W.S.," which is obviously the cabbalistic sign of some secret society. One of the author's weaknesses is a certain carelessness in the naming of his characters. For instance, no fewer than two hundred and forty-one of them are called Smith. True, he endeavours to distinguish between them by giving them such different Christian names as John, Henry, Charles, and so forth, but the result is bound to be confusing. Sometimes, indeed, he does not even bother to distinguish between their Christian names. Thus we have three Henry Smiths, who appear to have mixed themselves up even in the author's mind. He tells us that Colonel Henry's chief recreation is "the study of the things around him," but it sounds much more like that of the Reverend Henry, whose opportunities in the pulpit would be..

Mr. Pim's arrival sets off a chain of events that leads to confusion, misunderstandings, and ultimately, a realization of what is truly important in life.

"Mr. Pim Passes By" was first performed in London in 1919 and became one of Milne's most successful plays.

"Happy Days" is a short story written by A.A. Milne, best known for creating Winnie-the-Pooh. The story is about a group of friends, including the narrator, who gather at a country house for a weekend of relaxation and fun. The characters engage in various activities, such as playing cricket and going for walks, and the narrator reflects on the simple pleasures of life and the joys of spending time with good friends.

Each play explores different themes and features a distinct set of characters.""The Boy Comes Home"" tells the story of a young man who returns home from World War I and must adjust to civilian life. ""Belinda"" is a comedy about a young woman who is pursued by several suitors, but ultimately finds love in an unexpected place. ""The Red Feathers"" is a mystery play that centers around a missing brooch and the efforts to recover it.Like much of Milne's work, ""Second Plays"" is characterized by its witty dialogue and subtle humor. The plays offer a glimpse into the world of post-war England, and explore themes of love, identity, and the changing social dynamics of the time.

"Once A Week" is a humorous essay written by A.A. Milne that was first published in 1920. The essay takes a lighthearted look at the idea of "once a week" activities, such as going to the theatre or having a special dinner, and the anticipation and excitement that can build up around them. Milne playfully imagines what it would be like to have something to look forward to every day of the week, from "Monday muffins" to "Friday fireworks." Along the way, he pokes fun at various aspects of society, including the obsession with schedules and routines, and the way that people often try to make their lives more exciting by imposing arbitrary rules and rituals. The essay is written in Milne's trademark witty and whimsical style and is a charming snapshot of life in the early 20th century.
