Stephens's first (1913) collection of short stories revolves about the often nameless clerks, typists, and office supervisors of middle-class Dublin. The 19 stories include "Women," "Three Heavy Husbands," "A Glass of Beer," "One and One," "Three Women Who Wept," "The Triangle," The Daisies," "Three Angry People," "The Threepenny Piece," and "Brigid."
