New York Ferry Talk Sparks Odd Comic Exchange
On a New York ferry a man asks a reader if the latest paper is any news from Schoharie while recounting home events. The exchange reveals small-town concerns, farm talk, and a wary glance at current events in a fragmented, humorous voice from a late 19th or early 20th century newspaper miscellany. The column then shifts to brief humorous vignettes about royal appointments and light social quips, reflecting the era’s trend of chatty, gossiping snippets.
