The Mail Robber and a Berwick Interlude
A stormy night sets the stage for a masked mail robbery near Berwick, a pivotal rescue of Sir John Cochrane by unseen aid, and a dramatic reprieve followed by a mysterious stranger bearing fatal warrants. The narrative blends intrigue with a family tale of a picnic day and classroom discipline, then shifts to 1793 Philadelphia fears and regional fish news.
