The Pledge and the Temperance Tale in Pepperelboro

Lazy Bill and the pledge that turned a town around
A confession of drink followed by a pledge, the town’s reaction, and the transformation of Lazy Bill into a devoted husband and sober skilled craftsman. The tale shows communal support, the pledge’s impact on Simon Lehigh, and a later reunion with the once fallen neighbor who now thrives in Pepperellboro. Mr Day will winter in the South for professional duties before returning in spring.
