Traveling Sidewalk and Other Quirks of the Era
An elderly cleric finds railroad spikes loosened by frost and the reply that it is a normal hazard. A circle discusses sins with a confession of laziness as the shared temptation. A Williamsport visitor plants a life plant that grows from leaves and branches, blooming purple bells. Senate progress on Spier’s traveling sidewalk is noted, alongside a New York Tribune piece lampooning the term beverage manipulator for bartenders. Personal notes list Grant’s Adirondacks trip, Mrs. Dodge’s Europe plan, and literary figures summering at Isles of Shoals.
