Linborough’s Artistic Rise and Fall in a Rural Farm Tale
A farmer agrees to board a visitor for six dollars a week and recounts Linborough's brief artistic era. Minnie Higginbotham starts an art colony, alters furnishings and signage, drives a rift with townsfolk, and spawns a mock Society for the Promotion of Being Artistic led by locals including Sam Bunn and Ed Keggs. The period ends as autumn returns and the colony disperses, with Minnie and Sam later married and prospering.
