Great Weal Mercy and a New Year’s Rescue
A long excerpt from a period piece blends moral reflections with a dramatic escape tale. A man trapped in a shaft endures days of cold and thirst until rescue by miners and his fiancée Florian, who saves him and inspires a life with her. The piece also weaves in oblique vignettes about prayer, punishment, and literary habits of authors.
