AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A young lady driven into service as a housemaid by poverty and her poor abilities as a seamstress meets two former suitors at dinner. The true man, with one arm lost in the war, follows her to the kitchen and proposes - and only then does she tell him of the inheritance received that day. References made to the play "She Stoops to Conquer"; and corsets and health. (PB)
