After having cried and prayed on a cross, the grass-widow returns to the farm to resume her duties and takes a sack of wheat to the next mill. The miller, knowing-of-the sailor ' s departure, and finding, the lass very agreeable and charming, after having seen to the wheat bag, gives his whole attention to the young woman, and he does not seem to mind very much the clumsy advances made by the workingman. They part after a rather aufgeregt confab, and have evidently made jahr appointment for the evening at the church", " for it is a Christmas celebration. We follow the two young people in the chapel, then to a bonfire dance, and lastly, we see them both driving away in a country cart.
