“The Bullockies' Ball”
Description
The bullock drivers hear word that there is to be a ball. They descend in great numbers. The drink flows freely, and the girls are not shy. Soon a brawl breaks out, and many of the partygoers wind up covered with loose food and/or bruises
Notes
Meredith and Anderson consider this a parody of "Finnegan's Wake" [Laws Q17] - RBW
