Excerpt from A Buckeye Baron: A Rural Story of a Buckeye Boy
The miller had one child, a daughter, who was passing fair and Of a lovely disposition. She was the only person to whom the miller was always kind and respectful. She became very much attached to her father's last apprentice, and made no secret of her attachment. The young man was fearful lest her father should learn of her affection for him, which was reciprocated by him with all the ardor of his soul; and, though he had no fear for himself - Since his treatment could not have been much worse - at the hands of his master, yet he knew of the cruel disposition, which the miller took no pains to conceal, and he feared that it might overcome the love which the father bore for his daughter, and cause her pain and sorrow.
