The Childless Mother and the Slave's Screams
A Virginia-born physician recalls moving to Williemnaport Maryland, where a slave mother with two children was seized for sale after lacking free papers. The tale centers on a dawn raid as officials removed the baby from the mother, causing her unbearable cries, and ends with a call to action for readers to support abolitionist protest and family rights.

Shame and scandal echo through a distant past tale
A fragmented reminiscence recalls a charged letter scandal and public shaming, linking a man’s death to overwhelming shame. Interwoven are: a British servant's wry joke about marriage and work, reflections on death’s dignity, music history notes, fuel innovation, and an anecdote about Dodington.
