AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Reminiscence of a flirtation which nearly ended a romance; set in Brighton in the 1830s. Wearing an admirer's shoes to a ball instead of those brought by an accepted lover precipitates a quarrel which nearly results in the fiancées trial for murder. The admirer - a handsome officer - disappears, and only the fortuitous discovery of his clothes explains his drowning. Tale told to her granddaughter as a lesson against flirting. Light. (PB)
