The Rider
by Ruth
(word count: 2040)

_Whenever the moon and the stars are set
Whenever the wind is high
All night long in the dark and the wet
A man goes riding by
Late in the night when the fires are out
Why does he gallop and gallop about?_

- “Windy Nights” _ A Child’s Garden of Verses_
Robert Louis Stevenson

I loved this - very Gothic and Austenesque. A great Halloween treat!

Thank you! Jane Austin and I have had a love/hate relationship since eighth grade English. Her books are boring, but she films very well.
