Gossip and the old maid wed in Harpersville tale
In Harpersville a broken social order—gossip, slander, and scandal—drives a pastor to test marriage as cure. The widowed-like old maid Sarah Lee becomes central, spurring a plan that ends in her marriage to James Perkins. The town finds peace as gossip fades. The Rev Bates orchestrates a covert matchmaking, and a Westward union finally restores harmony.
