Mister Ron's Basement #1717

After a technical delay we are back.

Our Monday book serialization continues with Metta Victoria Victor's 1859 novel 'Miss Slimmens's Window.'

In Chapter Eleven, Alvira Slimmens reflects on a sermon in which she thinks the Pastor pointed out the evil of everyone in town, except her. It is called 'She Is Edified by the Thanksgiving Sermon.'
