Summary "More 'Short Sixes'" by H. C. Bunner is a collection of humorous short stories written in the late 19th century. The narratives reflect the ironic and whimsical side of human nature, featuring a variety of characters in amusing and relatable situations, often highlighting their foibles and misunderstandings. At the start of the work, we are introduced to Mr. Brimmington, a city man who has purchased an old farmhouse in Pennsylvania with dreams of solitude and a chance to focus on writing his long-desired "History of Prehistoric Man." However, upon arriving at his new property, he is met with unexpected disappointment; the farmhouse is not quite what he envisioned, and an uninvited and cumbersome white horse seems to have come along with the deal. This comical misunderstanding between Brimmington and the locals, such as Mrs. Sparhawk and the postmaster Mr. Skinner, sets the stage for humorous conflicts revolving around the horse's unexpected presence and Mr. Brimmington's struggle to adapt to rural life.
