The grave, a springtime refuge and a tale of Bessie
Giles Seabury recalls a village love triangle. Bessie Armstrong wed another, heartbreak followed, and years later mother and child return to the grave where healing comes. The tale blends memory, duty, and forgiveness with rural New England imagery.
