Very nice although there seemed to be a touch of the Thomas Hardy doom and gloom in most of the stories. Expected something a bit more romantic but there is something to be said for a good reading of Victorian realism that lacks the over sentimentality and sloth of today. Especially liked the Parson's Daughter and The Little Grey Glove. Well done

a different kind of courtship

An interesting peek at courtship from long ago and far away. Beautifully composed and well read
