A narrator recounts a crowded journey by train and a tense station night. The scene shifts from crowds and delays to the arrival at a city terminal where a Valentine note triggers reminders of a shared past and a tense street encounter. The hotel and a familiar face bring a glint of comfort before night settles.
In a Springfield railroad station waiting room a well dressed man sulks and a young woman with a sealskin cap hides her face as a quarrel over a broken engagement unfolds. The tale shifts to a perilous nighttime train ride on a trestle, a vanished fortune, and a courtly confluence of old legends about St Valentine with Victorian moral musings.
A collage of brief salon and street conversations from John Doe’s column style parodies. It threads quick exchanges on fashion, theater, and social mores with witty asides and character sketches, mentioning unnamed towns, editors, and passing remarks.
