AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A young girl's first entry into society introduces her to Captain Chichester and to the enmity of several women. A cruel trick leads her to declare her feelings to him in a note - which he answers with the news that he is engaged. Several months of seclusion pass - but all ends happily. Slight main interest is in the bitchiness of the women. (PB)
