Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In the Sweet Spring-Time, Vol. 1 of 3: A Love Story
Through this stubble a few women, their heads covered by sun-bonnets, moved in a bent, slow fashion; every now and then one stooped, and then stuffed the ears she had gathered up into the bundle in front of her apron. These gleaners were the only occupants of the field which, ten minutes ago, had been full of reapers; but these had emptied their beer-cans, had piled the last shock on the top of the over-filled waggons, and were only just out Of sight in the road that bordered the great corn-field.
