Offices of The Gentleman’s Journal

8 New Bond Street, LONDON – In a small cubi­cle on the upper­most floor – above Bent­ley & Skin­ner – behind a large ficus. The office is com­posed of a small type­writer and our gnomish sec­re­tary – Fen­quiver Win­klesworth – inside of an empty orange pack­ing crate. Mr Bond employs this space purely for want of a desir­able address, the post being herein deliv­ered. All real work is done at his coun­try estate in Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.

  1. This gen­tle­man is a flesh and blood indi­vid­ual and not the phan­tom of a deranged mind. ↩
  2. So is this man. ↩
  3. The good abbot exists in effigy and fre­quently com­mu­ni­cates with Mr Bond. He is presently six inches tall. Formerly, Abbot of the Restored Abbey of Malmes­bury. Still endear­ingly referred to as “the Abbot” or “the Good Abbot”. ↩
  4. While Mr Wil­son most assuredly exists, we are uncer­tain as to whether Aus­tralia does, which might pose him some prob­lems. ↩
  5. The author is almost pos­i­tive that Mr Wood really exists, though he ques­tions why a real per­son would rep­re­sent an order dis­solved in the 14th Cen­tury, there­fore he also ques­tions whether Mr Wood isn’t merely another mem­ber of this author’s fan­tas­ti­cal soci­ety – being the prod­uct of the author’s mind and mak­ing a point of phys­i­cal man­i­fes­ta­tion by decep­tion of the senses, in tan­dem with so many other good Chris­tians of the author’s acquain­tance. ↩
  6. The Abbot is the exclu­sive club­house in Hanover Square, Lon­don built for the Gentlemen’s club of the same name, founded in 1798 (cf. The Extra­or­di­nary Life of Doc­tor Bond: One-​Hundred-​Sixty Years of Pedantry by Augus­tus Gid­dings, pub. Simon & Schus­ter, 1957.) by Adam M. B. Bond, Esq. as a place of respite for those not unlike him­self. ↩
