At 7:15, a rented moving van stopped on Quincy Street and, flanked by two kilted swordsmen and a seven-piece band, "Yabook" strode to the steps of the Varsity Club.

The stranger soon has the house in an uproar and Lizzie's head in a whirl with his promise to bring the rain their crops need, and with his threat to awaken the love her heart fears and longs for.
