Summary
This volume follows Oliver Constable in Friarton as he tries to encourage interests beyond breadmaking and milling, including gardening, fruit trees, cricket, and natural history. He suggests a field naturalists’ society and begins drawing in workers from his shop, even as Jack Dadd dismisses the idea as impractical and mocks amateur collecting. Oliver also visits an old museum keeper and helps revive neglected butterfly specimens, but the young baker he recruits feels embarrassed by the attention.
