Pumping the Parson in a Scottish Railway Tale
An eccentric tale unfolds aboard a train near Inverness as a minister faces a staged marriage plot. A cunning character pumps the parson for information about a wedding while overheard plans reveal a private engagement and looming matchmaking schemes. The scene shifts to a remote lighthouse tale in the Hebrides describing a lampless beacon fed by a mirror and prisms guiding a phantom light across distant shores.

Not Afraid of Him Amatt Lawyer and Quarrel at Law
A verbose tale recounts a barrister in a domestic case sparring with a plaintiff Pat Murphy over a personal dispute.
