A public notice from an unnamed speaker announces ongoing settlement with insurance companies and stock closure. The rest presents a faded nostalgic vignette of a girl Phosbe and her youth, recalling school days with Reuben Brown, social dances, and a home scene where time and memory mingle with a returned playmate.
