Dora Parker pines for warmth and love in a luxury home while her father Thomas Parker drills a hard, frigid distance. After a mistaken obituary and a neighbor's sympathetic critique, Parker faces a self-examining moment as his forfeit of affection drives Charley toward trouble. A chance encounter with schoolgirls hints at reconciliation.

Odds and Ends From a Curious Era
A collage of brief items from a bygone period covers diverse topics. Notes mention rival fire departments in San Francisco, Hindostan’s Catochin with nearly 2000 black Jews, Blackwell's Island called Tweed's St. Helena, cholera counts in Poland and Prussia, Portland Maine opening a smallpox hospital, and a boy upset his tongue. It blends travel, crime, fashion, and social oddities with sharp, if scattered, snapshots.
