Dr F story and strange graveboard inscription tale
A Capitol Hill physician who once faced poverty for a chattel case later rose to a lucrative practice. At a dinner party he recounted a tale of aiding a poor tuberculosis patient, urged by the patient’s mother to inscribe a graveboard. He wrote the inscription and the mother pressed for adding that Lucy was treated by Doctor F. The scene shifted to police headquarters where a vivid tale involved West Indian sailors and a "flash coon" offering money for a sailor’s company, ending with fear of a dangerous doctor and a knife-wielding pursuit. The narrative then shifts to Rita Redmond Brush, a singer, and her blind husband Little Bits Redmond, recounting their rise and hardship in New York’s music scene. The piece closes with notes on persistent heartache and misfortune, including a reference to Percival Brosnan and a barroom encounter.
