The Boy and the Procession in a Rural Pageant
A narrator recalls procession roles from the front lines to the base, noting lively foot soldiers and the pride of leading the ranks. Officers listed include Mrs. V.W. Moore and Mrs. S. A. Reyes as stakes of a local club, while the march pauses at a station for dinner and a parody of polygamy anecdotes emerge from a sanctimonious chair. The piece blends anecdote with a pillared rural society portrait, ending amid a talker’s tale of many wives.
