An Overnight Robbery Tale in a New England Inn
A lingering tavern tale recalls a pedlar who sought shelter for the night in Hancock County Massachusetts, his purse of goods, a pistol threat, and a daring ride to Jackson. The narrator, a wary innkeeper, defends the cart and horse as a highwayman tries to force entry, only to be spirited away by a fast mare and a quick mind. The section closes with local notices and obituaries from St. John New Brunswick.
