The Old, Old Story
"The Old, Old Story" begins with the quiet frustration of chasing something just out of reach. The speaker recalls setting out with hope, only to hear the same phrase again and again—“You should have been here yesterday.” It becomes a refrain that shadows more than fishing trips; it echoes a wider truth about missed timing.

Their union, already strange, became even more bizarre with the arrival of their son—a boy born not into childhood, but seemingly straight into cynical adulthood. From the moment he emerged, he carried himself with a strange gravity, casting off rattles and bibs for spectacles and the sneer of someone weary of life. His first words were not babbled…-

The husband, practical and dismissive, sees no reason for his wife's unease. Yet her agitation reveals something deeper—an emotional restlessness awakened by a man from her past, whom she encountered…-

Ballad: The Haughty Actor
The Haughty Actor begins with the rise of an admired performer named Gibbs, whose fame at Drury Lane feeds a growing pride that soon overshadows his good sense.

When offered a minor position in a new production, he scorns it, choosing ego over opportunity. His refusal marks a shift—not only in his career, but in how others begin to see him. The spotlight that once lifted him now…-
