Excerpt from The Lilac Sunbonnet: A Love Story
As Ralph Peden came along the dusty Cairn Edward road from the coach which had set him down there on its way to the Ferry town, he paused to rest in the evening light at the head of the Long Wood of Larbrax. Here, under boughs that arched the way, he took from his shoulders his knapsack, filled with Hebrew and Greek books, and rested his head on the larger bag of roughly tanned Westland leather, in which were all his other belongings. They were not numerous. He might, indeed, have left both his bags for the Dullarg carrier on Saturday, but to live lacking his beloved books for four whole days was not to be thought of for a moment by Ralph Peden. He would rather have carried them up the eight long Scots miles to the manse of the Dullarg one by one.
As he sat by the tipsy milestone, which had swayed side-long and lay half buried amid the grass and dock leaves, a tall, dark girl came by - half turning in passing to look at the young man as he rested.
