The woman was tall and slender and had blue eyes and yellow hair. Wash was himself a comely youth. He loved the woman with a love as absorbing as the hatred he later felt for all women. In all of Winesburg there was but one person Digitized by VjOOQIC 138 WINESBURG, OHIO who knew the story of the thing that had made ugly the person and the character of Wash Wilr liams. He once told the story to Geo rge W illard and the telling o f^ the tale came about in this way: George Willard went one evenin...g to walk with Belle Carpenter, a trimmer of women's hats who worked in a millinery shop kept by Mrs/ Kate McHugh.
