AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Generalised romance of England. A soldier woos his lady but they are soon separated, he to fight the Arabs, taking a keepsake of embroidered shamrock leaves and her hair with him. She fears he is dead and the arrival of the keepsake with a farewell letter seem to confirm the newspaper report - until he appears himself. Very slight; insubstantial. (PB)
