A Thompson Street restaurant advertises a pig roast Xmas night as three kids watch from a shop window. A Madison Avenue scene shows a woman with two Nutty Pekes in a baby carriage.

The piece fondly recalls a Myce of Wales plan and a Trinity Church graveyard rumor, ending with a tale of a policeman finding a feathered corpse in the cemetery and a boyish dig near a tomb.
