The Winter of Heria

Mrs. Slade turned back to the parapet and said: 'Whenever I look at the forum from up here, I remember that story about the great on of yours' Heria was supposed to have sent her young sister out to the forum after sunset, to gather a night-blooming flower for her album. All our great aunts and grandmothers used to have albums of dried flowers. But you really sent her, because they were in love with the same man. At any rate, the poor little sister caught the fever and she died. They sat on Heria confessed to it years afterwards.
