Thirteen Years apart and a Northland Holiday
A narrator recalls leaving his wife Araminta after thirteen years of steady marriage for a solitary fishing trip with Mabel the maid. He seeks freedom, poetry, and trout in the Scottish hills, while his wife jokes and the journey begins with snow, border crossing, and a cheerful yet ironic shepherd meet. The mood blends nostalgia, humor, and a wary sense of impending change as the trip commences.
