A Brookville man recalls a summer in Westville and a romantic misadventure. An officer arrives with mistaken debts and the tale of a runaway, a mail boat to Alton, and a double William in love with Mildred Ware. A comic clash ends with a wedding and lasting friendship.
In Utica a man at a restaurant orders an elaborate dinner and a bottle of wine then asks to charge it to him. The proprietor confronts him as the man draws a revolver, but the guest quips that it is only a revolver and not a stomach pump. The tale ends with comic bravado about payment and danger.
A Polish English period piece recounts an Arab sermon by Hddyn Effendi who appraises his audience with questions about what he will say. His tactic prompts varied responses from believers, culminating in a call for the knowledgeable to instruct the ignorant and a later plea from a separated wife in a Perganal column urging return for the sake of family.
