Old West tales of Miss Miles and Slick in York
In a long narrative, Jonathan Slick recounts courting Miss Miles in 19th century New York, describing the city’s morning bustle, social pretensions, and Miss Miles’s transformed appearance. He coldly critiques society, reflects on class and race encounters, and ends with a boastful note about his affection and status.
