Silks and anecdotes from a faded page
An old shop scene about a Silk price quarrel ends with a quirky exchange over seven, thirteen, and seventeen shillings. A cure for summer complaints through strawberried leaves appears amid a collection of bawdy and witty stories. The fragment mentions a Kentucky belle and a billet doux found in a hat, with an old prosaic line about Massa’s stirrups.
