From a mountain shell to a Virginia mortgage tale
An extended fragmented narrative blends a young woman's rural tale of a Fairfax farm family, drought and debt with a dying stranger aided by her father, and a distant historical note on George Washington's will. The piece also drifts into sketches of an Apache pageant in Santa Fe and a long extract on Chambord, Frohsdorf, and European royalty.
