Pat and the Deacon at a Protestant Church
A Swam R. L. Deacon in western New York encounters an Irish immigrant Pat who questions the church’s beliefs. Pat loudly criticizes the congregation, calls the minister’s prayer fervor, and quips at a deacon. The deacon is dragged into the vestibule, a storm rises, and a local street scene includes a poet’s line about snow.
