The Peterkin Papers
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textMrs Peterkin puts salt in her coffee instead of sugar, and the family tries the chemist and the herb-woman before the lady from Philadelphia suggests making a fresh cup. Lucretia P. Hale’s stories of a hopeless Boston family ran in magazines for years and became a book in 1880. Nearly every problem in the house is solved the same way.
