AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A rejected suitor plans a revenge on his rival and his wife by replacing her box for their honeymoon at Brighton with one filled with false hair etc. Instead there is a further mix-up and the jealous man ends up with a medical students's trunk - with a human head and shoulders in it, while the bride has her box restored to her.
