Goats and a Mild Monster in New Tingland Village
In the small New Tingland village a quiet wife laughs off a terrifying husband whose ungainly figure and stern gaze frighten visitors. A neighbor and a hysterical summer boarder arrive for tea as the husband, Jenkins Sanderson, approaches with a message. Her calm, placid face contrasts with the boarder’s alarm, and she quips that the man is her “goat husband” with Rod behind him. The scene shifts to a Bowyer’s daughter recounting past mischief and a cheeky line about larceny and receiving stolen property.
