Winter Evening Tale of a Cape Town Selectman
In Wellmouth a reluctant selectman, Asaph Blueworthy, aims to send a pauper to the poorhouse but ends up inspiring a series of comic misadventures. He is swept by Mrs. Debora Badger and townsfolk through fortune telling, a rescued pauper myth, and a coast town plot that ends with Asaph marrying Debby and a Lamont summer purchase unraveling into a home for them. The town learns a lesson about pride, luck, and unexpected housing.
