Evening of Humorous Vignettes and Farmhouse Forgiveness

A collection of short anecdotes ranges from a neighbor’s ultimatum about forgiveness to a fire insurance riddle and a cheeky moral about bragging. Scenes include a Carlisle hotel discussion on trade, a couple shopping for nightshirts, a returning soldier offered cigars and mock rank, and a seven year old hosting a dinner where grace is declined, reading aloud the cheeky line about an infernal dinner.
