Sixth Widow and the Trickster Jordon Tale
A village tale from Glen Head recounts the arrival of a sixth widow, Tompkins, and the scheming neighborly figure Mr Jordon. He meticulously investigates the widows, then ends up trapped in the cellar when misidentified, while the tale pivots on mistaken identity, marriage plots, and rural wit amid the widows' long leavings. It blends comic anecdote with a late nineteenth or early twentieth century magazine voice about community gossip and romantic pursuits.
