Midsummer

My initial reaction to the story: I don't get it!!

The story doesn't seem to have much excitement, much less a climax. It reminds me of that last scene from the Jungle Book, where Mowgli sees this girl carrying a water jug smiling, err coquettishly? at him. It bothered me how the girl was being so flirtatious with the man, staring at him, accidentally (really?) spilling water down her shirt, and letting him get water. In the end, when she invites him to her house, I had to wonder whether everything was just a show to catch the man's attention. Oh boy, this woman has the makings of a Maneater: 1900s version.

I could see this ending as a love story...but for a moment there, I was seriously considering the notion of the woman being a witch, luring the man to her evil lair. *insert manic laughter here*
