The Legend of the Pew in the Quiet Church
A legend recounted at a rector's luncheon details a hidden north-side pew in a quiet church. A squire and his wife sit with their son while a young couple from rival families fall in love. In 1815 the lover goes to war after Napoleon escapes Elba, the girl faints as the pastor reads, and a Belgian battlefield death echoes in the church. The pew remains desolate with time, its tale fading but its mystery lingering.
