Christmas in the South at Mossbank Plantation
A reminiscence of a Christmas vacation at Mossbank owned by Uncle Rob. The narrator recalls Southern hospitality, hunting quail with eleven boys and eleven girls, elegant riding outfits, and a missing diamond ring found hidden in a cat Bunch’s fur. Baby Tom’s innocence helps uncover the gift and restore Aunt Sarah’s present, ending with New Year wishes.
