Bob Hull, famed Savannah storyteller, travels into inland Georgia for a business trip. He plans a match at Augusta but stops in a small town, boards a taxi with golf clubs, and a curious driver asks what kind of lodge he is instituting, after noticing his peculiar luggage.
A Scots curler praised for a perfect shot in Fry's Magazine is recalled by Lord Lyveden. An anecdote from a Swiss curling match has a skip telling a teammate to lie down and die after a flawless stone. The piece notes many miss the bullseye after overtraining.
In a Civil War scene Gen Lee briefs Capt Wayne in a Confederate tent. Wayne and Scout Craig slip behind enemy lines where mistaken identity and a northern captive challenge escape plans. A mastiff attack, arrests, and disguises lead to daring reinforcements and a final Shenandoah battle bid.
The narrator describes a grim wagon ride as captors transport him and a companion toward unknown destination. A leader promises safety at first, then abandonment to a driver’s mercy. Delirium and pain intensify as dawn breaks and the scene ends with near unconsciousness.
A wounded narrator travels on foot from Richmond toward Appomattox seeking old cavalry comrades. He finds himself near a grove with large, imposing tone as he continues westward beyond Petersburg in a hopeful search for friends.
A Confederate officer, Captain Wayne, is mistaken for a ghost at Lee's headquarters. Lee confirms Wayne survived and explains the fall of the -th Virginia, while Wayne learns of a rival officer Brennan, a Federal major, who has taunted him.
Captain Wayne receives orders from Colonel Maitland for a scouting mission with twenty mounted men. The task covers forage, Federal presence along Honeywell, and possible guerilla activity while avoiding contact with the enemy.
A quip asks why the same taunt draws laughter when used by one person but incites a fight when used by another. The piece explores social reactions and the role of context in humor and aggression.
