காலம் காலமாக சொல்லப்பட்ட கதைதான்...........
எனினும் தெற்கின் மண் வாசனையோடு சொல்லப்பட்டு
இருக்கிறது.....
BIBLE BELT-ல் அமைந்துள்ள பகுதி
PROTESTANTS நிறைய உள்ள பகுதி........
CHURCHGOERS அதிகம் உள்ள
பகுதி........
HOME RULE, COUNTY LAWS,
FEDERAL LAWS பற்றி படிக்க தூண்டிய கதை........
EARL-ன் கையில் இப்போது இருக்கும் முன்பு அவர் தந்தையின் கையில்
இருந்த பெரிய மர தடியும் ஒரு கதாபாத்திரம் என்னும் அளவிற்கு சித்தரிக்கப்பட்டு
இருக்கிறது......................................
கதைக்கு தேவையான அடர் வண்ணங்கள் நிரம்பிய அழகிய
சித்திரங்கள்..
A WHOLESOME ENTERTAINMENT……………………………………..
