The sequel to The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table returns to the Boston boarding house, where the Professor now holds forth on science, religion, medicine and human nature to his fellow boarders. Between his talk and his poems runs a quiet thread of story, as he watches the young people at the table and the lives drifting beneath their calm.
