The dining-room battle

Sir Compton Mackenzie

About this book

The "workers of the dining-room" including the spoons and forks, cruets, racks, etc. have long resented the mantelpiece ornaments for their airs. However, when the mantelpiece marble clock stops, it is soon replaced by an "upstart alarm-clock, eager for power" who only inspires terror--Cf. Dustjacket.
