A Curious Courtship Amid Dr Griffin and a Prolonged Pause
In a fragmentary memoir, the narrator recalls a fraught illness of her father, her fear of Dr. Griffin, and a developing engagement proposal. She narrates escapes from the house, poetry fame, and a late confession near the Plunketts, culminating in a reluctant yet decisive invitation to marry.
A Poet Gifts to His Little Friends and More
A devotional reminiscence about Mr Plelt's gentle nature and a toy gift for children ends with a doll count and a dead doll story. The clipping moves to notes on epidemics in Costa Rica and measles, then to musings on brain size and intellect, a Peruvian silver nugget, and seismology on earthquake waves. It concludes with animal species counts, a German plan for a global natural history, and kitchen wisdom advising not to wash meat.
