A real gem of a find!

I kept looking at this thread and kept going into denial about it. Too strange!  And yet ...

 I used read quite a bit of Wells, but I hadn't realised that this was actually available.  One wonders if these games inspired the tactical geographic movements of the invasion of the South East in War of the Worlds - maybe he actually played with tripods!  Okay, silly speculation aside.

 Wells refers to women as (among other things) “trampling skirt-swishers” and describes how lady visitors  “regarded the objects upon the floor with the empty disdain of their sex for all imaginative things.”

Fantastic.
