'Rawdon's Roof', is a slight comic piece, relying for its humour on the folly of a man throwing away his chance of happiness because of an unexplained and unlikely vow.

Lawrence returns in this story to the scenes of his childhood and the colliers he was brought up with. The wife in the story is probably based on his mother although the husband is unlike the drinking, brutal father portrayed in 'Sons and Lovers', Lawrence's autobiographical novel. The story is a...

'The Blue Moccasins' has the charm of looking at some eternal human problems such as unequal marriage, the waning of sexual desire and a woman who cannot give herself wholly to her husband in a thoroughly English and local setting; the stage of an amateur dramatic society where all the passions and delusions come to a head.

‘Smile’ is one of Lawrence's shorter pieces, a thumbnail sketch of an idea. A man is relived that his wife is dead and struggles to hide his relief when confronted with his wife's body. The relief breaks out in a smile which he struggles to excuse. How much better it would have been, Lawrence seems to be saying, if he had just laughed out loud!

'The Border Line' is unusual in that Lawrence dabbles in the supernatural (as he was to do again in 'The Rocking-Horse Winner' two years later) and that this is less a story in the traditional sense and more an exploration of the mind of a particular woman, based on his own wife, Frieda. Katherine,...

'The Man Who Was Through With the World' picks up the same themes as in Lawrence's short story 'The Man Who Loved Islands'. He asks if we can ever withdraw from the world, no matter how much it disgusts us. The ironic part of this fragment is that the hermit vainly seeks to think holy thoughts while...

'The Flying Fish' is unfinished but tells the story of an Englishman, Gethin Day, returning home after years in South America. There is a hint of the home-sickness Lawrence may have felt during his long exile. The bulk of the story is the time spent on the ship which is taking Day back to England....
