The opening portion of the magazine introduces a tale called "A Christmas Round-Robin," which centers around the emotional turmoil of Malcolm Rutherford and his wife, Edna, in the days leading up to Christmas. As Malcolm faces both marital strife due to Edna's jealousy and the impending arrival of unexpected dinner guests—including a woman weighing on his conscience—tension builds between them.
