Old Brookville Tales of Nannie Neal and Mildred Vernon
A frame narrator recounts two intertwined love stories from Brookville. First, a bachelor recalls Nannie Neal's doomed romance with his friend Rob Lincoln, ruined by her father Neal’s drunken cruelty and a brutal tavern tragedy. The second follows Mildred Vernon, her engagement to Walter, a competing bond with Alice Lee, and Mildred’s selfless sacrifice to secure Alice’s future. Years later Mildred’s generosity aids Alice’s family, while Mildred finds peace in modest life with Rodger Lee’s cottage and a later reunion with Walter’s widow.
