Burglary Tragedy and English Marriage Folly
A widow survives a dangerous burglary at her home in which burglars trap her inside a wardrobe as fellow thieves break in. One assailant is captured, another lies insensible, and the widow’s nephew helps subdue the suspect who fled on a horse. The tale is followed by a note on the cost and awkwardness of banns marriages in England and a quip about reviving Hamlet for local audiences.
