A Victorian Comic Tale of Potter and a Disastrous Journey
An extended comic anecdote follows Mr Potter and his wife as they plan a country trip. Potters' bungled preparations, rain drenched chaos, a surprise train dash, and a dramatic sewer crossing culminate in a tense Pullman departure. Interwoven are humorous vignettes and quick sketches of other readers.
