A poem describes a calm woodland scene as a mother and infant gaze outward, with twilight, birds, and a longing sailorlike mood. The speaker notes the whip owl on the moor and the robin's home, awaiting dawn and the merry waking of Artiea.
A nostalgic verse recounts a shy suitor’s moonlit walk to a cottage, a playful scare as his maiden’s family and housework intrude, a dash home on a broomstick aided by a booming imagination, and a lingering memory of a carefree mile to town.
Kate Merriford, her sister Mrs Acton, and suitor Herbert Wingard clash aboard a Newport bound yacht. Kate defies Mrs Acton by planning with Tom Warner, as Wingard’s drunken bravado and social games threaten reputations. In a tense voyage they head toward Stonington with romance, jealousy, and a looming proposal.
