A Story of Whiskers and a Ball Manager
A narrator recalls a comical dispute over a barber’s whiskers taken as property. After a social showdown at a broker’s, the narrator enforces a half possession for a ball while Jenks protests, resulting in a humorous shaving finale and a kingly demand for payment. The tale ends with Jenks paying and the narrator planning another claim if needed.
