A young irl lives far out with her parents. There's a ball in town 15 miles away. Her promised husband arrives to take her to the special event. It's a very cold night and the girls mother offers her a blanket which is vainly refused. The couple gets cold during the ride, but talk off-n-on. When they arrive the young man finds his promised bride frozen to death.Mercer: Laws G17; Greenleaf 1968:347; Peacock 1965:735; Mackenie: p.161 (1963
