A collage of odd rumors and light politics, noting ping pong bets, King Leopold, a sul tan in Bacolod, and railroads. It mentions Sullivan's generosity, grip in England, Schwab's rest, and Bishop Potter on saloons, plus social quirks like a $1,000,000 grandchild gift and Mont Pelee harvesting dreams.
A nervous man recalls an improbable ghost story and a night trek to Mont Marte in deep winter. He describes trudging through eight inches of snow, a hostile wind, a distant lodge, and a red light blinking among the pines before reaching a log house door seeking shelter and a ride to Moose Lake.
In a northern tale, a narrator retreats to a bed with a dead predecessor, finds him cold as stone, and narrowly escapes a mysterious night. A logger and a wary host unwind a strange sequence as neighbors suspect a ghost story when Uncle Hiram supposedly returns, only for the truth to surface later.
An artist paints the dying model Julie Coomans in The Death of Venus. Julie sacrifices herself to inspire the masterpiece while Metcalf races the brush to capture her fading form. A millionaire buys the painting for half a million francs, and Metcalf heads to marry his promised wife in New York.
A fragmented, humorous phonetic piece questions future knowledge and value. It ponders what lies ahead and how we will know it, mixing garbled phrases with imagined lines about enjoying life and final endings. The text reads like a playful, scrambled meditation on meaning and anticipation.
The Richmond Times recalls ex Gov Tyler's slave Lewis Armistead who, upon gaining freedom, stayed with his master’s family as a trusted member until death. The piece praises his strength, kindness, and loyalty, portraying him as a noble old Virginia gentleman and a rare humane form of slavery.
A New York Times excerpt retells a Man in the Street tale about State Senator Bernard F. Martin and a boy named Wiegand. The boy’s sister swap long trousers to fit their impoverished father, mocking the idea the son’s pants now fit papa.
