To think of Benjamin, who had never cared for any maid but herself! They had been childish sweethearts. Around her neck at this very instant was suspended from a grass-woven chain a bracelet of dried grasses which he had given her once when they played at a wedding.

True it had been refused, Abner’s[20] proposal having been received unexpectedly a day or so earlier.
