This collection is put together on a simple plan. Here are the stories which attach to the Quaker trait of caution, those that relate to a passion for "plain" speech, those peculiar to the manner of worship and business of the Friends meeting, those arising from the interaction of Friend and friend in business and trade, plus those which arise from totally unexpected situations.

This quiet humor, sly without malice, incongruous without being xtravagant, carries with it a strong flavor of the kindly, candid Quaker philosophy mixed with the genuinely funny situation.
