Description: A continuation of the Auld Licht series. Its scenes are confined mainly to the interior of the little Scotch cot in “Thrums” where lived Hendry and Jess McQumpha, and their daughter Leeby. Jess is a quaint figure. A chronic invalid, yet throbbing with interest in everybody and everything, she sits at the window of her cottage, and keeps up with Leeby a running fire of terse and often cutting comment upon village happenings, and thus holds herself in touch with the life and gossip which she knows only through the window.
