I address these lines - written in India - to my relatives in England.
A story of mine called, like this, The Woman-Haters, appeared recently in one of the magazines. That story was not this one, except in part - the part dealing with John Brown and Miss Ruth Graham. Readers of the former tale who perhaps imagine they know all about Seth...
An ancient leafless stump of a horse-chesnut stood in the middle of a dusty field, bordered on the south side by a row of houses of some pretension. Against this stump, a pretty delicate fair girl of seventeen, whose short lilac sleeves revealed slender white arms, and...
