Two Armies, Swords, and Mercy in a Victorian Miscellany
A long miscellany piece blends poetry and prose on war’s toll and mercy. A sailor tale follows Tom Bolt, a pensioned captain with a secret burden, as a new rector, Rev. I Bolton, rekindles hope. The piece shifts to curiosities, science notes, and etiquette jests, all framed in an old newspaper voice.
