A nameless narrator recalls a night of murder and guilt at Cronkwash. He hides a body beneath a garden grave near a watchtower, confronts fear and shame at his mother and father, and battles with the storm that mirrors his ruined conscience. The scene blends secret killing, a doomed romance, and the specter of discovery as dawn approaches.
A narrator recalls a grisly scene where reapers scene of a farmer death in a corn field during a harvest. The machine’s relentless blades cut through the square of corn as onlookers celebrate nearby. The narrator, traumatized, hides in a tower, witnesses extraction of the corpse, and ends in a suicidal, poison plan driven by vengeance.
A first person passage describes a terrified struggle, near death, as the narrator clings to a bedpost and envisions self and slain identity. The scene shifts to a deathly stillness, with a ghastly reflection pondering whether the body was slain but the soul remains. Oblivion follows.
A dinner anecdote recalls a Turkish army officer on a 1877 Istanbul bound train who speaks French and reveals he was born in Louisville, Kentucky. The tale, retold by American travelers, ends with the officer’s proud identification of his American birth as the origin of his diverse career.
A satirical diary style piece describes the Earl of Bismuth arriving in Ticktown after a Washington trip, his awkward temperament, and comic misadventures. It also recounts a fire at the author’s chateau near Asheville, insurance adjusters, and a humorous note on Lithia water boosting health amid losses.
A fragmentary dialogue shows a youngster mocked for believing a “trout of coffee” could be caught. The sarcastic taunts reveal a tale of pride, perception, and a humorously dawning realization as the scene shifts to neighboring hedges and nearby whispers.
