'Tis a quaint little love story set in, well, the past. There are no explicit references to time save for culture, so we can accurately date it to the year 1850, plus or minus one hundred years.
The whole thing was rather uneventful, but it is oddly reminiscent of a high school encounter with an attractive wimman, only the wimman in the story was much more accommodating than the contemporary wimman. It was all over the place - the torpeness, the passive observation, the awkward conversation, the even more awkward actions, and the utterly superlative awkwardness of the wimman inviting the man, whom she had only known for a few hours, to her home.
...
I have nothing to say on this matter.
I miss high school life's awkward situations. They often give rise to even more awkward yet equally enjoyable situations.
