This narrative explores themes of forgiveness and the consequences of cruelty, centered around an old woman, referred to as Mountain Moggy, who is unjustly believed to be a witch by the local children.

One evening, a boy’s mischief leads to a disastrous fire, and a young midshipman comes to her rescue, risking his own safety to save her life. As the narrative unfolds, it delves into the old woman’s backstory and the impact of the community’s ignorance on her life, ultimately illustrating the transformative power of compassion and understanding.
