Reading the Will Or the Mercenary Lever
A narrator attends a will reading at Harley Street for Constance Graham heir to her uncle. The will bequeaths modest sums to others and most wealth to a cold water institution, prompting dispute and a twist when a codicil redistributes to Constance. The tale blends mock-legal drama with dialogue and social foibles.

A reminiscence tale from the Illinois ferry area features a couple viewing wall pictures as a bride and groom, with playful dialogue about “the marriage” and “the first baby.” The narrative shifts to reports on tomatoes for cows and remarks on Ohio state financial notes, debt reduction, and sinking funds with critical analysis of Mr. Brough’s fiscal claims.
