Lonesome Camp on the Frozen Heights
A satirical sketch follows Claudine and Elam as they chase wealth and social ascent across cities and Europe. He, a dimbut ambitious office man, and she, eager for high society, endure lavish dinners, fashion, and travel before returning to a rural kinship and a blunt, comic ending. The tale lampoons class pretensions, marriage, and urban fantasy.
