Engagement Dissent and Commanding General in Tale
A dialogue reveals Selina Neville and a suitor facing General Gore's stern cross examination on family, wealth, and motive.

Then a climate anecdote describes a rail executive at a Northwest resort being teased about rapid weight gain from air and ozone, jokingly confirmed by a nickel-slot machine reading.
