AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Irish romance. A Kingstown young woman avoids a confrontation between two suitors - one a fat and repulsive English cousin, the other a handsome honest gentleman - by disguising herself as a fat old woman. Her cousin insists on accompanying her to a party at which her other suitor will be present - she treats the cousin cruelly - with the help of her favoured suitor's irreverent younger brother, receives a proposal which she accepts from her handsome suitor, and finally teaches her cousin to understand that she does not want him. Humorous lively romance with touches of Irish character and spirit. Light. (PB)
