A certain Mr. White, who chooses to have his workshop in Mrs. O'Callaghan's unspeakable cottage on a farm in Ireland. This Mr. White who is trying to halt Mrs. O'Callaghan's prayers long enough to foist on her the blessing of free thought, all the while trying to teach Mr. O'Callagahn sane modern farming techniques. So a Something comes down the chimley. Mrs. O'Callaghan thinks it might be the Archangel Michael. Mr. White, of course, is pretty surprised when it turns out that it actually is the Archangel Michael. (Look out, you may forget you can't believe this.) The Archangel's proposition is most exciting. There will be another Flood. The O'Callagahans are to build an ark and start the whole human race afresh. Luckily Mr. White is fond of carpentry. By what absurb triumphant means the ark is built, despite the Irish; exactly how much of civilization shall be preserved; how the deluge overwhelms; whether and wither they the ark floats; and how Mrs. Callaghan saves all - these things unfold in due time, and with a high order of exasperation. Mr. White has exerted himself very nastily to enrage all lovers of druids, dryads, and Erin go fey. We fear he has only succeeded in being extremely funny and that flights of banshees sing him to his sleep $65.00USD
