A Pair of Clogs, and other stories, by Amy Walton.
________________________________________________________________________
In the first of the stories a young girl-child is stolen by the gypsies.
Yet they decide to give the child up, and they leave it in an out-house
owned by a young clergyman. The latter isn't very pleased at this, but
his wife certainly is, and they bring the child up.
After a few years, and in a particularly tense moment, the true mother
is found. An agreement is reached, whereby the child is shared.
As with Amy Walton short stories, there is not only a well-told tale but
also a moral.
