ABSTRACT

Now let’s leave the hermit and go to the steward, who was getting on in years and decided to take a wife. The bride he chose was a beautiful young woman whose father belonged to the lowest level of the gentleman class. Well, given that the steward was elderly and didn’t come to town often, his new wife began cheating on him. When the steward realized what was happening, he thought, “I’ll bring her to the mountain pasture and have her blessed by the hermit, and that will drive all the temptation out of her.”
