Living with his sister Harriet on a New England farm, Grayson goes out to market and along the open road and comes back with friends: a lodge-joining salesman, an old maid, a drunkard, a roadside prophet, a gunsmith, an old man at the mowing. Each sketch turns a small encounter into a reflection on what friendship asks and gives.
