A Mistake in the Weight and a Victorian Tale
Andrew Wyman weighs himself repeatedly to confirm a rising weight. After a depot incident he learns his true weight is one hundred forty pounds, then climbs to one hundred forty five and finally realizes a heavier tally as he tracks the scale. His wife aids a shopping errand to buy a stave of a collac, while stories of Ned Carey and old Virginia amuse with old time vignettes and a court dinner misadventure.
