AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Romance at a rectory. The intention of a cheerful young man of blithe effrontery and substantial property amuses the stern rector, who encourages his courtship of his daughter. Too late he discovers that the youth is the son of an old school-fellow who he had earlier refused to consider as a son-in-law. Light tale with lively repartee. (PB)
