AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A couple, occupied with each other, bid goodnight and the young woman stumbles through the darkened house to her room only to find she is in the wrong house and in the room with two foreigners, a knife and a pistol. Her terror as she waits for them to fall asleep to make her escape makes it seem longer ... and her lover is faithful. Pleasant, slight. (PB)
