Odey's Lady's The Old Man in the Grave-yard
A long excerpt blends an editorial ghost tale with social sketches and anecdotes. It opens with a meditation on dark moods and a graveyard episode where a narrator dreams of spirits and moral temptations, then shifts to a first person tale of poverty and struggle from an English emigrant to America, detailing family loss, migration, and hardship before seeking new prospects.
