Fragmented tale of Dick and the Wolverton hut
A wanderer recalls a harsh Scottish cottage tale from Wolverton and a boy named Dick abused by Master Tom. The narrator aids Dick, seeking help from authorities. Dick dies soon after, his final words to a master echoing mercy. A US-era dispatch recounts Speyers defending passengers against twelve highwaymen in Mexico, then another anecdote of drunken remorse and a Maryland slave’s emancipation.
