3. "Fireside conversation" is Mark Twain's "1601"; "Little Willie" is ascribed to Eugene Field; and "The old backhouse" has been variously attributed to James Whitcomb Riley and others. "A French crisis" has also been attributed to Eugene Field: cf. NUC pre-1956 NF 0124119 for another edition listed under his name; however Blanck found no evidence to support the attribution; cf. BAL, v. 3, p. 128.
