The Bleak Tale of a Washington Boarding House
A Washington Star columnist recalls a tragic winter tale from a boarding house. A keeper’s washerwoman, her husband, and a chain of misread suspicions reveal a grim accident: a gas leak and a partially turned valve lead to the death of a young colored woman. The narrator observes fragile trust and the human tendency to read motives into ordinary acts.
