The Jolly Farmer and Hetty A Southern Temptation
A framed reminiscence recalls a rural courtship at Wilber Trabb’s tavern, Hetty the daughter of the old man, and a young lover who wins her heart then falters under temptation from a visiting Southern girl. After a breach, he wanders abroad, returns aged and wiser, and rekindles a vow of love and marriage with Hetty despite years apart.
