A short story I read in my teens, one of several in a book. The protagonist is a teenage girl who agrees to clear a pond for an unpleasant landowner. She meets a lad working there ('Silver Si') who she thinks is the groom, but it turns out he's actually the landowner's son. They get on well and she takes him to meet her family. She's worried how he'll react when he learns her dad is a ratcatcher, but he finds the idea interesting and asks if he can learn the trade. The motivations of the characters, love versus money, are discussed at the end.
