What you’re looking at

This page contains **three brief humorous anecdotes** satirizing British social hierarchy and manners, interspersed with period advertisements. **"Warning Royalty"** mocks the young Prince Edward's assumed superiority. A schoolboy at Eton confronts him, demanding to know his name. When Edward replies "Edward of Wales," the other boy dismisses him as just another student—a comic deflation of royal pretension. **"A Golf Expert"** depicts Scottish working-class irreverence: an elderly caddie instructs his employer to avoid sheep on the course with casual impudence ("Run forward, laddie"), highlighting class tensions through humor. **"He Knew"** satirizes anti-English prejudice: a boy raised to despise the English recites "Fee-fi-fo-fum...I smell the blood of an Englishman" at dinner with an English lord—innocent rudeness exposing the father's extremism. The advertisements (Mallory Hats, Milo cigarettes) are period standard. The satirical tone reflects Life's focus on social observation and gentle mockery of stuffy Victorian/Edwardian conventions.
