The Lime Kiln Club Meeting and Uncle William’s Tales
A fragmented reminiscence from the Lime Kiln Club features Brother Gardner recalling Uncle William Balls as a landmark figure. The tale weaves tavern humor with social critique as members debate vice, virtue, and the punch of hard cider amid dancing, fiddling, and a fear of moral decline. A gray goose narrator riffes on government, progress, and public policy with no clear resolution.
