Luckily Dick Hawk-Monitor saves the day, at least as far as Elfine is concerned. Aunt Ada is fulminating against all her kin as always & Adam's attempts to fill the Christmas stockings with treats like turnips & swedes are not appreciated.
Why anyone had any desire to eat that pudding, I have no idea.
Whoever gets the coffin nail will be dead within the year. The Christmas pudding is full of not charms but curses. The story takes place some years before Flora Poste arrives to sort everyone out.
Only the title story is set at Cold Comfort Farm & a miserable place it is, especially at Christmas. Stella Gibbons has enjoyed something of a revival this year with new editions of several of her novels from Vintage Classics & this volume of short stories, Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm.
