At the end of each long days haul, the troupes spoils are divided up, with the useless bits cast aside.

Together with her roguish troupe master, Meg opens them and discovers they are love lettersnever sentbetween a merchants son and a landowners daughter, who do not know of their shared affection. Meg resolves to give the two would-be sweethearts their most hoped-for Christmas wish by returning the letters to the pockets of the intended recipients, not the senders.
