Summary
The Gold- The Colonies had recently gone to war with the Old Country and New England coastal residents were hearing that british ships were raiding small towns. One married couple, having just received a large inheritance of gold, knew that it had to be hidden and quickly....
The Cat- A loner cat surviving by himself one winter in a mountain cabin, his mastrer having left for the winter, receives a visitor to the cabin in the form of an old man seeking shelter. The man is too weak to provide food, the cat appreciates the companionship, and a strong bond is formed. An excellent story about humans and animals and their need for companionship- lots of highly descrptive phrases here that illustrate a short story writer at the top of her game.
