Well, this being the sort of person Barbaik was, it is easy to guess at her anger when one day she found Tephany talking outside the cowhouse to young Denis, who was nothing more than a day labourer from the village of Plover.
On the way she met a beautiful carriage with a young man seated in it. 'What a lovely maiden! he exclaimed, as Tephany approached. 'Why, there is not a girl in my own country that can be compared to her. She, and no other, shall be my bride. The carriage was large and barred the narrow road, so Tephany was forced, much against her will, to remain where she was.
'Go then! cried Téphany, and entering the house she slammed the door behind her. Lonely and miserable she sat down by the fire and stared into the red embers. Then, flinging the feather from her hair, she put her head on her hands, and sobbed passionately. 'What is the use of being clever when it is beauty that men want? That is what I ought to have asked for.
If this is what you learn from Denis, I forbid you to speak to him, and I will have him turned out of the farm if he dares to show his face here again. Now go and wash the clothes and spread them out to dry. Tephany did not dare to disobey, but with a heavy heart went down the path to the river. 'She is harder than these rocks, said the girl to herself, 'yes, a thousand times harder.
