A merchant fantasy and a web of conspirators unfold as Nebbitt, Fairfax, and Oxford plot a risky plan. Lydia evades, Lydia’s telegram hints at Dol meet, and three masked men join the crowd. Natalie, Natalie’s shock, and a looming storm frame the suspense as the expedition sails toward Del and on to Paris.
A travelogue describes Costa Rican ox-cart journeys between Eypanza and Alajuela, via Atenas and Esparza, with weeks-long treks over mountains. It notes rough roads in the dry season, hard mud after rains, and the curious blend of courtesy and indifference among cartmen. The piece laments unreliability of trunks yet praises scenery and the safe handling of valuables, alongside anecdotes on behavior and a brief, unrelated joke section.
A religious meditation contemplates the dawning year with trust in divine guidance. The speaker asks God to light the path ahead, to sustain through sorrow and crosses, and to keep thoughts, deeds, and spirit pure. The prayer seeks strength, grace, and gifts to serve, with hope of rest beyond the skies.
