A Humorous Boyish Venture in Courtship and Mischief
A rambling reminiscence describes a bashful youth who tries to court a girl during winter, endures awkward advances, a failed meeting at her home, a mud coated escape on a fence and a fall into a cold yard, ending with humorous reflection on youth and a remembered heroine. It also weaves in short notes about unrelated local anecdotes and oddities.
