A Night Ride to a Farmhouse and Other Fragments
A sleigh chase leads to a farmstead with open fires and hearty mischief. Scenes of strength feats, odd notices, and colorful local tales follow, from Himalaya mounts to a tragic accident at a slaughterhouse and a boy’s Sir Isaac Newton lesson gone awry, all rendered in brisk late 19th century newsroom tone.
