"Collected Short Stories" by Anthony Trollope ***

• Audiobook
• Originally published in 1800s, this collection in 2010
• English author
• Two Stories 
• "Malachi's Cove":
• Malachi Trenglos, or "Old Gloss" saved seaweed and sold it for manure
• setting:  Tintagel, beautiful cliffs in England
• Mally Trenglos, his granddaughter, helped as he got old, a strong hardworking girl, 20 years old
• turns out the path and cove did not belong to Trenglos
• Bertie, sworn enemy until accident occurs

• "Father Giles of Ballymoy": 
•  a man comes to a crowded inn, is rude to a man who crawls into bed with him
•  then finds out it is the parish priest, Father Giles, and it was his bed
• shoves man down stairs, is taken to jail to protect him
• turns out the priest had been gracious to share with the narrator
• townspeople angry at him, he was ashamed
• fearful of Roman Catholics
• The suspicion followed by warm acceptance, very Irish emotional volatility, ability to let go of anger and move straight to friendship
• Review:   I am not sure that the short story is Trollope's strength.  I am a big Trollope fan, but these two stories, although sweet are quite simplistic, were a little too simple for my taste.  Volatility of emotion is the theme of both.
