Echoes of School Days and a Melancholy Merchant Tale
A fragmented prose piece recalls old schooldays with a strict schoolmarm and green calash. It then retells a Baltimore tale of a fallen merchant saved from drowning, his rescuer's lingering boast, and the man’s ruin. It closes with a cotemporary quip on a young man’s first lesson and a humorous Irish farmer anecdote about a drake’s bill.
