Characters joke about color, marriage, and power while amid comic songs, dances, and a mock salvation sermon. A volcano of burlesque ends with threats and revelry as the cast improvises through chaos.
A fragmented narrative recalls a Christmas visit to Dayton with friends and a tense night as a narrator is confronted by two rough men. The piece shifts between party scenes, a peculiar couplet of names, and a perilous struggle ending with the narrator being blindfolded and led away.
A fragmented narrative recounts a perilous night in a forest where captors threaten the narrator with a gun and ropes, interwoven with reflections on Leigh the overseer and a Christmas return. It blends tales of papery wonders with a childlike memory of danger and a later tale of a shepherd boy and domestic life.
