Episode in Constantinople and a Moorish Princess Tale
A long, scattered narrative recounts a summer incident in Constantinople involving a Moorish princess. A carriage ride to the princess villa, a dramatic arrest ordered by the governor, and diplomatic tensions between American ministers and local authorities are described amid reflections on cultural propriety and interterritorial law. The piece blends travel anecdote with a digressive note on pain and a separate medical discussion.

How Not to Catch Cold
An 19th century style discussion argues prevention over cure for colds, detailing a cold foot bath method. It explains foot immersion in water, then warming the feet to provoke a mild reaction that strengthens resistance and reduces future cold frequency, with anecdotal notes on success in a few patients. The piece also contrasts other remedies and cites cautions and practical tips for safe use.

Fragments of a Dreamlike Conversation and Aunt Charlotte
The excerpt shows Mildred and Aunt Charlotte in a faded domestic scene with garbled text about fatigue, meals, and a silk quilt sold at a charity fair. Aunt Charlotte reflects on women’s sacrifice, martyrs, and enduring fire, while a murky discussion questions other worlds and heavenly rest, ending with a cited line from Harries Lems Bradley in The Century.
