A fragmented account describes interactions with a young male writer lodger in a boarding house. The narrator recalls being taught reading and writing by the writer, who produced a gilt edged poetry book. The text sketches a scene of private writing sessions and a jab about social behavior in the parlor.
A garbled verse fragment discusses a red ribbon bound in hair, its removal yesterday, a frown on the ribbon, and reactions to it lying on the floor. The speaker imagines if he had noticed earlier he might have felt annoyance at the ribbon’s abandonment and harsh words spoken in haste.
