A tale unfolds in Brunswick Square about Sir Peter and Lady Rankles and a widow, with a scheming hostess Mrs Canderson. Infanticide accusation erupts at a wedding, a boy named Alfred is central, and a hidden child bond reshapes relations as the mother seeks mercy and reconciliation.
A narrator recalls a frosty morning at her father’s barnyard where cattle kicked as a single incident sparked a chaotic fight. The mother Queenslandly notes how one cross word can start a family dispute, urging restraint to avoid trouble and reminding children to never return a kick.
In Venezusia a barren rock bears an eight-branch tree whose leaves dry and lifeless until the trunk is bored and a bland nourishing ink oozes forth most in sunless hours. Villagers gather the liquid, some pour it away, others take it home for children. A shepherd’s family is imagined, milk-like ink dripping from the rock, Cow Tree. A bashful man bravely asks a question to a young lady, she faints, he is kicked out by her brother after mistaking ink for cologne. Also reported, John Openauffer falls into a hot coal tub at a distillery, is badly scalded, and survives with skin and nails burned.
