**Background**: When I was the editor of *[Gilbert Magazine](http://www.chesterton.org/explore-the-acs/gilbertmagazine/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)*, I was responsible for the "Tremendous Trifles" column. It was occasionally hard to find a sufficient amount of interesting GKC material to fill the page, so John Peterson sent me a file full of Chesterton ancedotes. They were idiosyncratic, historical, and Chestertonian. He gave me permission to use them here. I hope y'all find them as interesting as I have over the years. Most of them have never been published.

Chesterton Short(s)

In a letter dated August 4, 1928, the Irish playwright Sean O'Casey mentioned the manuscript of a play written by G.K. Chesterton, with the title *Tragic Women*. According to O'Casey the play was written as a joke for some outfit called the Beaconsfield Club. The manuscript is undoubtedly lost or it would have landed in the nets of Denis Conlin, whose tireless research has provided the *Chesterton Quarterly* and *The Collected Works* with so many similarly obscure Chesterton writings. \[*The Letters of Sean O'Casey*, 1910--41, New York: Macmillan, 1975, p. 302\]
