Ida Fane and Lionel Ward a Winter of Quiet Affection
In a provincial village Ida Fane, a pure, gentle niece of Mrs. Fane, befriends Lionel Ward, the widower of Emily Ward. Their attraction deepens as Ida parallels Emily, and Ward reveals a buried longing. A stormy autumn wedding ends in tragedy when a letter from Ward to Ida triggers her deathlike swoon and a final farewell, leaving Ida to be mourned in the village as Ward grieves, and the tale ends with a note on European antiquarian lore.
