A chapter from the book "The Peterkin Papers" is presented. It tells a story about Mrs. Peterkin pouring salt in her coffee instead of cream. It narrates how her son, Agamemnon, and his husband, Mr. Peterkin, suggested they go to the chemist for remedy and pay him in gold. It discusses how her daughter, Elizabeth Eliza, recommended consulting with the herb woman for a payment of five cents. It recounts how when everything did not work out, Elizabeth Eliza remembered the lady from Philadelphia who suggested making a fresh cup coffee.
