The Wasp — 1879 — page 77: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains serialized fiction rather than political satire or cartoons. It's Chapter V (continued) of "My Cousin Estelle," a narrative story about a young woman named Estelle and her relationship with a suitor named Stephen. The text discusses domestic social life, including mentions of a visit to "Sir Philip" and concerns about propriety and marriage prospects among upper-class characters. The bottom of the page begins Chapter VI, which discusses a visit to "Mr. Sherwin's house" and mentions Malcolm and preparations for a dinner party. This appears to be a serialized romance/social drama rather than satirical content. The Wasp magazine clearly included literary fiction alongside its political cartoons in different sections.
