Letter Fragments Describe A Visit To Wacorra Scotts
In a flawed but vivid narrative the author ties an ill fated shoot to a midnight visit to Wacorra Scotts. He recalls readers of Melrose Abbey and the Count Ron B visitors, noting a stark portrait of Mr S and the Scott household. The writer laments the harsh physiognomy and describes breakfast, leisure, and travels through Scottish scenes with sharp humor.
