AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A beautiful calculating woman's plans to win her friend's fiancee seem successful - until she learns that in winning him he has lost his property. The jilted friend eventually marries her cousin - spurned also by the beauty who is forced to become a drudging governess. Light; sense of family loyalty vs. scheming outsiders. Loyal middle-class lawyers' family more worthy than unreliable nobility. (PB)
