A Dance at the Fort Ball in an Island Tale
Anne Douglas and her sister Tita join a Christmas night ball aboard a northern fort. Rast Erastus escorts Anne while Tita, in tableaux dress, captivates suitors and the crowd around the commandant’s hall watches. The event blends frontier society, military men, and local dignitaries with music by French fiddlers and Romani theatrics.
