The Rainbow
Authorship not stated
You are Tom Brangwen, working Marsh Farm much as your father did while your sister Effie chafes at a world the new canal and colliery keep dragging closer. A dark-cloaked widow named Lydia Lensky, the vicarage's new housekeeper, passes the farm with her small daughter Anna, and church, then a borrowed pat of butter, bring the two of you face to face. She leaves asking a question you cannot honestly answer — how her daughter's lost button found its way home in your gift.
