Aerial Poem and a City Tale of Love and Telephones
A long mixed narrative blends a Civil War era verse fragment with a Chicago area romance. Harry Dixon narrates his courtship with Agnes Peyton, his clerical rise, and a meddling cherub Raphael as misread telephone messages test trust. The tale ends with a sharp moral about appearances and innocence.
