Her Master (1911)
In a remote settlement of New England in Colonial days, the new school master, Hugh Rieve, was the cause of much fluttering excitement on the part of his little flock, and there was an eager attendance on the part of all his scholars, excepting only the coquettish daughter of old John Mayden. Mistress Jacquelin dawdled, was late and took the reprimand of the grave young man with such bad temper that he was forced to discipline her on the very first day of school. War between them was thus declared, and she rendered poor Hugh's life a burden by her mischievous and fascinating high spirit. He was attracted to her in spite of her elfin tricks, and she to him, although she rebelled against his authority. One day she went so far that he was compelled to punish her before the school, and broken-hearted, she ran along the snowy paths, not noticing where she went, when a sudden fall on the icy snow brought her to a realization that she was lost, and unable to walk. Rieve felt that he had gone too far in upbraiding her high spirit, and after school he went to her home to apologize and explain. She had not returned, nor was she at the home of Edith, her chum. With fear and foreboding he saddled his horse and searched for her, to arrive just in time to protect her from a renegade Indian, to fight for her and receive a wound in doing so. Silently they rode home, he fearing she was mortally offended, she realizing at last his magnanimity and her love. In her home once more, he started to go away, not understanding her overtures for a reconciliation, so that poor Jacquelin was compelled to pocket her pride and propose to him.
