In the original form of the novel, JPR renamed the village as Glenpeffer, Gullane as Sandyknowes, Luffness Mains as Muirend and Ballencrieff as Criefton. He may have done this to give the central places of the novel an other-wordly sheen to the readership at the time. However, given the passage of time and the shortness of the village&#8217;s collective memory, perhaps this sheen is no longer required. The names have been changed in this version &#8211; should some begin to believe that Glenpeffer ever existed!<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONTENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ohapter I: <a href=\"http:\/\/eastlothianheritage.co.uk\/aberladyconservationsociety\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/SD-Chapter-I.doc\">At the Old Ship Inn, Aberlady<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ohapter II: <a href=\"http:\/\/eastlothianheritage.co.uk\/aberladyconservationsociety\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/SD-Chapter-II.doc\">The Skipper<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ohapter III: Arrival of the \u2018Bus<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter IV: A Son of Old Ireland<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter V: Bringing Home the Contraband<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter VI: An Unexpected Visitor<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter VII: Festivities at Ballencrieff<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter VIII: Explanations and a Reconciliation<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter IX: Auld Hansel Monday<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter X: End of Norman\u2019s Vacation<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XI: Jeanie\u2019s visit to Edinburgh<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XII: The Theatre Party<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XIII: Charge and an Acquittal<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XIV: Back to Aberlady<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XV: All Among the Barley<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XVI: Complications<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XVII: Jeanie Smith\u2019s Self Abnegation<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XVIII Brush with the Enemy<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XIX: A Shift for Davie Duncan<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XX: Two Painful Partings<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXI: Exciting Time for the Smugglers<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXII: Searching for the Contraband<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXIII: The Search Continued<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXIV: Departure of the Exciseman<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXV: A Fatal Quarrel<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXVI: A Sad Time for Aberlady<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXVII: Among the Mourners<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXVIII: More Trouble<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXIX: Off to the Wars<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXX: By Aberlady Bay<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXXI: A Strong Man\u2019s Last Hours<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXXII: Mid the Changes and Chances of Life<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXXIII: Memorable Kirn at Luffness Mains<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXXIV: The Uninvited Guest<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXXV: A Story of Waterloo<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXXVI: Elsie\u2019s Weird, and the Passing of Widow Duncan<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXXVII: Pat\u2019s Farewell to Aberlady<\/p>\n<p>Ohapter XXXVIII: Settling Up and Settling Down<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE SKIPPER\u2019S DAUGHTERS A Story of Aberlady in the Smuggling Days by John Pringle Reid Copyright (c) Aberlady Conversation Society 2008 Foreword Very few copies of this work remain in circulation and those that possess them hold them close.
