Strange Calculation. A pantry tale and thefts in a flagging household
A long vignette recounts a family of twelve living in a two story house who raid the pantry at night, aided by a clever youth. They use a hidden window and a beer keg, bake cakes, and endure discovery after a lobster sauce joke. The tale ends with a moral about honesty and a panicked owner who teaches a lesson.
