Summary

"More 'Short Sixes'" by H. C. Bunner is a set of funny short stories from the late 1800s, showcasing people's funny sides through different characters in everyday, but laughable, situations. A key story introduces Mr. Brimmington, a city person who purchases a farmhouse in Pennsylvania, thinking he will finally have the peace needed to write his book, "History of Prehistoric Man." To his dismay, the farmhouse isn't what he hoped, and he has inherited a large, white horse he definitely didn't want. The misunderstandings between Brimmington, Mrs. Sparhawk, and the postmaster, Mr. Skinner, create funny problems as he deals with the unwanted horse and tries to get used to country life.
