I Sat on the Trestles, and Poured Out Before Her the Offering of My Passion

The author met a country maid in an ancient baronial hall. He wooed her with his love, but she tore off the lace and linen of a well-born english maiden. She then burst into sobs and exclamations - this was not what he had expected. The story is now set to be published by Oxford University Press next year.
