Embarrassed Wager and Embassy Glass Saga
A chaotic narrative follows a wager over a locking glass carried from Australia to St Petersburg, with the Emperor of Russia and Chinese court involved. The glass breaks en route, the Grand Duke loses the bet, and the tale shifts to political letters and Virginia constitutional debates, interwoven with period obituaries and public notices.
