The piece contrasts American expectations with European practices, noting pricing, restaurant culture, and the temptations of Parisian shops and markets.
The narrator recalls a Dakota winter with a ferocious wind from all directions that drives him into a hotel and nearly over the edge of collapse. He also notes the Lincoln assassination pistol worn by Booth, described as a small derringer with a short barrel and deadly force, preserved by the War Department as a historic exhibit. The piece blends a harrowing winter experience with reflections on the famous weapon and its storied history.
The piece portrays several congressmen in vivid sketches.
