Abstract
This positive review of Mortimer Thomson's (also known as Q. K. Philander Doesticks) Doesticks: What He Says takes on the tone of Thomson's own satirical whimsy in its assessment of the book: “Your demon has baptized you in ink. You are gathered in that spell. You can never escape. You must write-—write-—till the cows come home” (593).
