Matrimonial intrigue and a dramatic imperial review
A narrator recalls a morning note from his betrothed Constance Graham inviting him to her uncle's Marley Street home to hear a will reading after the uncle’s death. He reflects on inheritances, suspicion, and Constance’s reputation, then shifts to a long account of a grand Russian Imperial Guard review in St. Petersburg with vivid, period details of uniforms, regiments, and pageantry.

Have You Any Confidence The Red House Fraud Tale
A fragmentary tale recounts a con involving a pretender asking for confidence from Loui Biddle at the Red House in Bowery. The would-be benefactor pressures Loui with liquor to reveal wealth and compel trust, leading to a dramatic, possibly staged demonstration of confidence and money. The clipping also includes an unrelated antiquated note on Houston's Flying Artillery from San Jacinto and older war reminiscences.
