A Bride of the Plains
by Emma Orczy
The story is set in Hungary, and the scene takes place in a village near Maros. In this fourteenth September, it was Andor's turn to be reluctant to join the army for three years. On the eve before him, in the rainbow of the village, when the entire population spends their last happy hour trying to forget the events that will take place in the morning, he puts himself in Elsa, the beauty of the village. When Andor returned from Bosnia, his village changed, but so did he.
