Fragmented tale of love jealousy and a murder on ice
A narrator recalls a bitter love triangle involving Alice and his brother Horace who returns from Paris. Jealousy over Alice leads to a fatal confrontation in a lane and a boat scene by a silver lake. The brother is killed, the narrator is cursed, faces execution by rope, and reflects on his fate and Alice’s ruin. Nearby items include secular notes and literary fragments about public figures and a Fourth of July goat tale.
