| Summary | "Punchinello, Volume 2, No. 29, October 15, 1870" by Various is a satirical periodical published during the late 19th century, which showcases humorous and critical commentary on society, politics, and culture of the time. The content likely draws on the absurdities of daily life, social norms, and the complexities of human nature through cleverly crafted anecdotes and characters. The opening portion of the publication introduces some recurring characters involved in a humorous narrative. Mr. Dibble, a beleaguered lawyer, grapples with the challenge of finding suitable accommodation for his young ward, Flora, amidst societal rebuffs from proud, financially struggling old families. As he discovers a potential boarding-house run by the strong-willed widow Mrs. Skammerhorn, the wit and irony of the situation unravel, shedding light on the issues of class, gender, and human folly. Additionally, the depiction of Mr. Bentham’s desperate and humorous strides in open-air exercise contrasts sharply with the legal troubles and social expectations faced by the others, establishing a blend of comedic commentary while developing the storyline.
