A wearyjourneying woman reporter endures heat and bustle at the world’s fair. A mysterious gaze in a train car unsettles her, sparking fear and fascination as night falls. She recalls Tolstoy and scenes of rural life while nearing home, haunted by the piercing eyes.
A narrator recalls being frightened by a man on a train and fearing a public outburst. Amid unsettled thoughts, she contemplates screaming, then chooses to stay silent. Reaching the depot, she exits into a windy, dark night and wanders the streets, skirts gathered, seeking solitude away from strangers.
A narrator recalls a terrifying encounter with a famed hypnotist Professor Joseph who pursued a lookalike wife to murder. After a brutal struggle, rescue arrived, the assailant was captured and confined to Jefferson insane asylum, and the tale ends with reflections on memory of trains and drifting shadows from a Chicago Times feature.
A collage of quirky quotes and brief items from early newspapers. Snippets feature bemused social remarks, jokes about wives, education, and a Washington anecdote, plus a brisk exchange on jackets, baths, and gas lighting. Names pop in and out, with a tone of light miscellany.
A late 19th century column mixes sensational tales of wives put up for sale at markets with moral reflections on table habits, and then shifts to social notes on women entering professions. It cites cases from Yorkshire and Cornwall, alongside commentary on women in law and medicine, and profiles Mrs. Ida A. Harper and other female professionals.
