The Sexton's Story of a Saintly Woman Mary Hilton
An old sexton recounts the life of Mary Hilton, wife of Robert Hilton, seen as a saint by her grave. Born to an eccentric father and a strict upbringing, Mary endures a loveless marriage and devotion to a flawed husband, sacrificing her happiness for years until his transformation after her death. Her life echoes Browning on deeds shaping future generations.
