Fragmented Victorian family saga from Elmholt Farm
A long excerpt follows the Penny family at Elmholt, detailing Daniel Gray’s tender esteem, Miss Gurteen’s autocratic rule, Penny the steward, and Gus Penny's refusal to enter the church. The narrative pivots on Gus choosing farming and Alice Lovington as his wife, triggering his mother's rage, Penny’s quiet intervention, and a late reconciliation. Two years later the family enjoys a quiet home with a grandchild, and the matriarch muses she would undo Gus’s choice if possible though she has ceased desiring it.

Tin Cup district Named for a Curiously Used Tin Cup
The Tin Cup mining area in Gunnison County grew from a placer camp on West Willow Creek. A miner washed gold-bearing dirt in a tin cup, then carried the sample to camp, giving the gulch and district their name. Fred Lottis remains a longtime resident and owner of the Gulch. The piece also recalls a bygone school era with vivid anecdotes of corporal punishment at Mayhew School.
