An amused narrator recalls gifting Gus a cue and watching him excel in play. He describes Gus’s flawless precision from the start, scoring forty with ease, then a misstep that caused a brief pause. The speaker jokes about coaxing and wheel work, then shifts to a chorus of reflections on Maud and the scene.
A rainy afternoon scene at a ferry-area shop prompts six men to test honesty by offering a stranger a $35 bill for change. A Black man accepts, returns ten cents, and proves the counterfeit note to the tester, who finally pays, realizing the deception. The tale shifts to Potiphar's wife reenactment in Russell, Kay, where Mrs. Potiphar's suicide threat ends as she leaves with the doctor husband. A Hungarian portrait request leads to a humorous misoffer about painting a wild ancestor with a grand mustache.
