THE DEVIL’S BARGAIN

The story of the handless maiden begins with a miller who has been grinding the grain for the village for as long as anyone can remember. He works hard, turning the millstone by hand and transforming natural grain into a civilized product, flour. This is honest work and the miller makes his contribution to the life of the village by his natural strength or occasionally with the aid of an animal who turns the millstone. This is a laborious process, limited by the strength of the miller or his animal. It has been so for as long as anyone can remember. “Ye shall earn thy bread by the sweat of thy brow” is the biblical law at this level of culture.
