Too Much Alike in the Bird Bird Office Tale
An elderly lawyer Mr Bird recalls meeting twins, their mother and sister, in his office. He recounts a vivid scene with a young woman named Annie and a maid named Laura Van Scriver, detailing family ties, a vanished cache of papers, and a near madness over missing documents amid flirtatious interruptions.

Double two sisters charm in a comic family mischief tale
A rambunctious scene unfolds with Laura and Maggie Van Scriver amid mistaken intentions and a playful uncle reveal. A farcical drive, a forgotten tale, and a laughable household ruse culminate in an odd tale of twins, mistaken arrivals, and a uninhibited porch reveal set in a small community. The piece blends humor with domestic confusion and ends with a surprising familial truth.
Pilgrim and the Narrow Wagon Trade Tale
Denver News recounts a plains tale where a green pilgrim trades a barely usable wagon for a new one, only to find the new wagon too wide for the South Pass while his old rattletrap fits the route. The ranchman pockets a round sum, the pilgrim moves on, and humor hides a sharp caution about overestimating wagons for rough passes.
