Uncle Brimmer and the Kentucky Doctor of Jex
A humorous Southern memoir recounts Uncle Brimmer moving into Mabel Hucklestone’s Kentucky household. The plot centers on Brimmer squeezing through a ladder window, a bull charging the house, and Dr. Jex clinging to Brimmer as the beast charges. The episode ends with Brimmer’s comic heroism and the doctor’s ruined prestige, repaired by gifts and brusk gratitude.
