A Gazette editor and a blond foreman discuss printing the governor’s Thanksgiving proclamation. The text hints at Theophilus Wardwell hosting a grand Thanksgiving dinner with superb turkey and pumpkin pie while friends await invites, amid a tone of humorous urban satire.
In a somber tale set on Thanksgiving day, Mr. and Mrs. Wardwell wait for guests who never arrive. Renowned guests like Mr. Stiver and Dr. Shadley are absent, leaving the couple to eat in gloom while recalling past hospitality and pondering gratitude amid loneliness.
The tale follows Theophilus Wardwell after a disastrous dinner as guests led by the editor, doctor, musician, and professor invade his home on Thanksgiving. Wardwell seeks humor in the clash while the party discovers misprinted dates and a salvaged feast becomes a communal joke and reconciliation.
A nostalgic vignette in the Wa bash valley recalls autumn fields and family rituals. Farmers fatten cattle and gather corn while children gather walnuts, and a Thanksgiving gathering at the country church brings kin, neighbors, and a final culinary highlight with Red Pete.
