Old-Time Travel Tales From Stage Coach Days
Mrs. Morse Earle recalls stage coach journeys once common in New England. The narrative paints rough roads, balancing the coach to avoid overturning, humorous exchanges between drivers and passengers, and a mudbound Dover to Haverhill trip where a driver waited for the mud to dry but ultimately lightened the load himself.

The Soaker Trades in Pawn Rich Areas
The soaker, a middleman between pawnbrokers and customers, flourishes in pawnshop dense neighborhoods. He explains his value, claiming buyers obtain higher prices for articles, and notes his polite approach earns a 10 percent commission. He recurs with families pawning the same items monthly, repeating cycles around paydays. He canvasses homes much like a book agent or solicitor, asking what can be pawned.
