A wife recovering from a family crisis recalls a mountain inn visit in Tyrol. She describes a weary period, a suggestion to stay in a sanitarium, and a longing for quiet, away from neighbors and chatter, with vivid memories of the inn and its simple comforts. The tale unfolds as a confidant letter to a longtime friend.
A derelict older actor, once idolized by local girls, sits in a village inn drinking with peasants. The narrator learns the forgotten man is Peter Sturzentaler, now impoverished, inspiring memories of youth and a dangerous secret she kept for years.
Richard Kilroy reflects on Fort Benton in 1923, recalling sturgeon fishing on the Missouri and frontier life. He notes tavern figures Norris Gray and old river traffic, the buffalo eras, and Gen Meagher's fateful night, contrasting past and present Fort Benton.
