Imagery of letters and papers
The Editor Tales are filled with imagery of letters, papers and everything else to do with writing. The editor's office is filled with papers and letters that he has to go through. "The Spotted Dog" begins with a full-length letter by Julius Mackenzie; in "The Turkish Bath" the editor has to go through various papers that he is persuaded to read by his "friend" from the Turkish bath and in "The Panjandrum" the entire story is made out of a group of people trying to come up with articles for their magazine.
Imagery of clothes
The plot of "The Widow's Mite" is surrounded around Nora Fields trying to contribute to her community like the widow with two mites. She finally decides to give up her wedding attire and go through the ceremony in plain clothes. This is a shock to her aunt because wedding clothes are considered one of the main factors of weddings. On the morning of her wedding Nora and her bridesmaids come out dressed in plain and warm clothes. Everyone else is dressed plainly as well. Everyone concludes that they feel rather comfortable, even more comfortable than if they came out in uncomfortable wedding attire.
Landscape imagery
The story "La Mere Bauche" begins with a lengthy landscape description by the narrator. He describes The Pyrenean valley which is not largely known to travelers. He describes the beauty of the valley surrounded with mountains; the marvelous scenery is unlike anything else. This is a place where village Vernet and the hotel owned by Madame Bauche are located.
