Ancient and Horrible
Episode description
First, Timothy presents the story of the Antique and Horrible Artillery - a mumming / parade tradition from New England. Then Alison attempts to tell the story of Linda Belle Titus Knox, a Chicago widow who “died in her crumbling treasure house,” while Timothy interrupts and rambles.
