An aging grandmother urges ten year old Danny to believe a sealed silver locket holds a promised fortune. After years of hardship and robbers, the pair uncover a note inside the locket revealing a hidden kingdom and wealth for Danny if he turns twenty, while dangers threaten family survival.
A fragmentary folklore scene from an old story depicts Danny and Granny Groo living in poverty on a hillside. Bandits seize grain and livestock. Granny dreams of a prophecy that Danny will find a buried pot of gold by a spring in his twentieth year, guiding his future reign. They later discover treasure and contemplate escape to a distant land to learn the people’s ways. A quirky aside notes the origin of the phrase Cut and Run and references a children’s verse about a girl in a new frock, ending with Washington Blar.
The piece reviews a New England magazine article about a two week vacation solved by a twenty five dollar check and a ten day plan. It narrates a two hundred forty mile drive in New Weyland last spring with a prepared wardrobe and simple gear, plus a warning that such trips require planning. Advertising pays as a Indiana man sells six carriages after a single newspaper ad. The column includes a light verse from the Birmingham Age-Herald.
