Miss Minerva and the Mumps in Covington
In a Covington tale, Billy Hill and Lina Sam play chain gang with a pretend key, while Jimmy and Frances chase mumps toys and barter for trinkets. The yard buzzes with pranks, rivalries, and mock mischief as neighbors, including Miss Minerva and Ikey Rosenstein, observe a lively, chaotic scene that ends with William Green Hill's rise to pocket-wealth through marbles and tops.
