Della and the Mysterious Bag Adventure
In a train stop tale Della and I nearly lose our bag and jewels to a kindly stranger Colin McColin. The old man vanishes at the next station, leaving Delia irate and us poorer, while a lesson about trust lingers. The piece ends with a Penny Pictorial note on painter Sir Thomas Lawrence, from a tale of humble beginnings to artistic promise.
