From the back cover of the book:
Packed into these pages are answers to questions about Waterford,
Virginia, in the gay nineties that you are too polite to ask:
- Just how much manure is too much?
- What happened when the post-election jolliffication got out of hand?
- How did the ladies soil their balbriggans?
- at was the town sergeant doing with those chickens?
- Was there something fishy about the milk?
- Who was caught violating certain moral laws ?
- What are the shocking facts about Dr. Connell's galvanic bath?
- Was the livery stable really a den of sin ?
. . . or was the death an accident?
- And what about Mrs. Brown's ordeal?
Nothing is held back in this exclusive probe into the long-hidden
files of Waterford's old Town Council.
