Old Maids Marriage and a Stranger at Mattie’s Door
A fragile Miss Mattie Sewell hosts Prudence and a visitor in her cottage. A worldly Canadian stranger Alphons Winterbottom arrives with pikelets and a tale of a widowed lover Reuben, who claims to be her vanished heart’s true companion. The confrontation reveals Miss Mattie as an aging idealist, torn between reverie and reality, until Reuben returns in person to claim her.
