The Monastery Chapter 13 Part 2

In which the hospitable Miller Hob and Dame Glendinning engage in neighbourly discourse about their families' fortunes and misfortunes, with careful attention to customs and characters of their rustic Scottish vale. The arrival of Mysie Happer, adorned in her festive garb, and reflections on the prospects of the younger generation mingle with the honest wit and quaint proverbs of rural life.
