"House-Hunting as an Outdoor Amusement" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.
Since Adam and Eve went hand in hand out of the gates of Paradise, the world has travailed under an infinite succession of house-hunts. To-day in every eligible suburb you may see New Adams and New Eves by the score, with rusty keys and pink order-forms in hand, wandering still, in search of the ideal home.
