Bees and Beehives and a Bevy of Burdens on Authors
A collage of vignettes recounts how Norman writer Guy de Maupassant faced a rabbit problem near Etretat, a neighbor secretly restocking his warren after de Maupassant destroyed it, and a curious Morelia market scene where bees protect candies from thieves. It also follows Bridget the Boston maid discovering engagement with Tim and his shy courtship behavior.
