Short moral stories meant as signposts for the road of ordinary life: a husband whose clouded brow darkens his household, a gentle hand that wins where force fails, a merchant asking whether kindness will pay, and a serial account of how to destroy a good business. Arthur builds each tale from the homes, shops and doctors’ calls of mid-century American towns.
