The faded tale of a wandering peddler and a stolen silver trove
A brief, melodramatic vignette unfolds with a traveling peddler visiting Carrie in a small town, seeking a meal and shelter. He manipulates her, distracts with stories of famous figures, and steals an heirloom silver set. Old Dan the ram disrupts the theft, rescuing some pieces while the prowler is driven off. The scene shifts to local entertainments and domestic life, including a rat catcher and a phonograph-like lecture, painting a slice of community life with crime, humor, and aging wonders.
