Fox's Free Laundry and a Ghostly Conundrum
In a London newspaper piece a laundry head, Fox, stages a haunting in his shop to lure a Chinaman ghost story and wins free work. The tale blends humor with a moral about using superstition to avoid payment. It also notes a rabbit plague plan in Australia and a social hint about women influencing marriage decisions.

Fragmented Narratives Across Town Echo Postwar Drift
A sprawling, fragmentary piece traces journeys and hopes in a town, with vignettes on emigration, home buying, and the pull of community. It recalls Irish and Irish American migration, a hobo’s motherly forgiveness, and global voyages by a New Zealand captain, all woven into a reflector’s portrait of belonging and mobility.
