In Pierre, her cen, Teny, formerly an actor, coes her theatr talent re- born. The turning leaves of memory disclose Teny's and Harriet's childhood and the budding of their affection. The girl'c talent in amateur dra- matics had drawn grudging praise from Orchard Hill's citi- zenry, reared to regard the stage as wicked and its devo- tecs evil-minded. But this con- viction—shared by his parents, who saw her as a barrier to Teny's intended career as a minicter—did not dim Tony's hopes of marriage to Harriet, although he had not yet pro- posed to her.
