Widow Waggles and the Hon Wilton A Turbulent Virginia Tale
A late 19th century Northern or Southern Appalachian sketch recounts Widow Wag gle s notoriety and a fateful party hosted by Dick Barstow. The Hon Wilton, an English officer, visits Persimmonville, inflaming local gossip. A staged duel, a harmless deception, a drunken escapade, and a dramatic rescue drive the town into uproar as the widow’s social ambitions collide with sharper wit and comic disaster. The episode closes with the widow’s reputation intact and the bartered aristocracy of Persimmonville duly humbled by farcical events.
