Door Switch on the Dutch Village Wouter Van Gaasback
In early New Amsterdam a Dutch carpenter Wouter van Gaasback clashes with his daughter Anneke's suitor Nicholas Vesey over a planned wedding. After a door in his house mysteriously swaps place, Vesey cleverly replaces the door and later reveals the truth, acknowledging St. Nicholas as the instigator. The father concedes, tempering his opposition with a settlement to keep the tale quiet.
