"A Love Story."

Somewhat reminiscent of the earlier "Alexander," this tale concerns a young man's experiences with love, denial, and loss as he and a girlfriend visit some cherry farmers. At the end, the narrator seizes her hands and speaks to her "urgently and tenderly, overcome by a strange fear lest it should be too late." In Everyman (April 3, 1930), Now and Then (Winter 1930), The Black Boxer Tales (1932), Thirty Tales (1934), The Bride Comes to Evensford and Other Tales (1949). Reprinted in Argosy (January 1935).
