When Blair tracks down the owner, they arrange for a simple exchange.

"The Horse Dealer's Daughter" is a story gripping in its content. It encompasses the terror of death and disgrace, which is redeemed by passion and sexuality.

"Odour of Chrysanthemums" was written by D H Lawrence in 1911. Lawrence is at his best in this story, taken from the scenes of his childhood and based on characters he knew intimately.

The theme of a loveless marriage redeemed by death is one that Lawrence was to come back to in other stories.
