A disturbing account of a woman resisting coercive advances by her husband. She notes his taunts and control attempts, her determination to resist, and the slow erosion of his power as she plans escape. The narrative follows her locking doors, avoiding him, and seeking help from Marjorie Boyd as she asserts independence.
In a late summer mood the narrator notes demand for simple small silt hairs and silk hats as autumn approaches. Marjorie and Bess ride horses along a bridle path, admiring ridden mounts before planning to return at five, while talk turns to a new place on the road and critiques of cheap trade stock.
