AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Faded slippers and an old dress remind an aged woman of her innocent marriage to a bigamist; her loyalty to him and the estrangement from her father that her remarriage to him after his prison sentence caused. Their hard years as she struggled to support him, his drinking and finally his death from wounds received in a robbery. She returned after her father's death to her childhood home and buried the past - dragged up in this story by a young visitor. (PB)
