AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A young woman accepts an invitation to London for a month, leaving her country doctor fiancee behind. She is disquieted by the cheerfulness with which he accepts her absence and loves his work. Their separation, a scheming army captain, a trip to Switzerland convince her he cares not for her despite his loving earnest letters. She marries another but passes his funeral procession on a bridal visit to her parents. Includes passing reference to Ibsen's Doll's House. Also a tough maiden aunt. (PB)
