The woman who fits that pair of skates he knows will be the woman for him. Once he sees this pair of feet in Avonlea, he is awe struck: the feet belong to Hetty King. Wally begins his open wooing of Hetty. Long time spinster Hetty doesn't know quite what to think, especially concerning the schoolboy way in which Wally is approaching the matter.

And Hetty is having a land border dispute with her long time neighbor, Wellington Campbell, both threatening legal action. Hetty ... Written by Huggo
