Shirley Chapter 2 - The Wagons Part 1

In which a somber and rain-swept evening sets the scene for Mr. Malone's journey through shadowed fields to the austere mill of Mr. Moore, where concerns of industry, idle gossip, and the shadow of political turmoil intertwine in quiet conversation by the fire. The two men share reflections on love, commerce, and the uneasy times, while cultivating a modest supper that reveals more of their temperaments than words alone might impart.
