A retired merchant recalls a failed public concert and how a phonograph with records changed his view. He describes noisy audiences and irritating emcees, then says he now enjoys music at home and cancels concert plans, preferring private listening over live performances.
A grave exchange between a man and the narrator reveals domestic strife. The other insists storms improve mood, while the speaker laments a quarrel with his wife and feels struck by a different kind of lightning. Urban banter reflects weather as metaphor for tension.
A lively exchange unfolds with talk of civic betterment and pursuit of office. The speakers challenge each other on whether their agenda truly serves the public, while a playful scene includes a social secretary and exchanges about current plans.
