AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The health of a doctor's wife is in danger when her daughter is born with a head of golden hair - just like the barmaid where her husband had been spending his evenings for months past. All is restored, mother and child reunited, when the doctor confesses the barmaid is his long lost sister. Interesting for remarks on status of barmaids, threat to marriage, etc. (PB)
