A grandmotherly narrator takes an old green satin gown from a trunk and tells the girl beside her how she came to wear it at seventeen, while staying with the elderly Miss Persis Elderby in the village of Hillton. Further stories follow in the same tender, humorous vein, among them Blue Egyptians, Little Benjamin, Don Alonzo and Maine to the Rescue.
