YOUNG LOVE

It was after dark on a November evening. A young woman came down the
main street of a small town in the south of Scotland. She was a
maid-servant, about thirty years old; she had a pretty, though rather
strong-featured, face, and yellow silken hair. When she came toward the
end of the street she turned into a small draper's shop. A middle-aged
woman stood behind the counter folding her wares.

'Can ye tell me the way to Mistress Macdonald's?' asked the maid.
