In Basalt a quarrel over hiring a colored worker to whitewash a cellar and clean a stovepipe escalates into a dispute between Mrs. Bowser and Mr. Bowser. He mocks the effort, but the scene ends with a heated exchange about unpaid labor and a promise of unfinished tasks.
A mash of comic snapshots from city life includes a Vine Street cable car scene with a loud misfit and a flirtatious woman, a Maine girl’s observing remark on theater curtains, a piano-plotting father and minister, and memories of Irish wit and social quirks. The piece threads humorous miscommunications, social foibles, and nursery humor through various encounters and opinions.
