The Idol of Red Gulch and the Reforming Drunkard
In Red Gulch, Sandy a drunken wanderer lies beneath an azalea as Miss Mary, a prim schoolmistress, encounters him and his reforming presence grows. A budding relationship forms during picnics and small acts of kindness, ending with Mary's decisive choice to adopt Sandy’s son and remove him from a life of vice. The tale closes with a reflective anecdote on Tom Quartz the mining cat and a note about Tennessee schools closing.
