AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An old maid tells of her two brushes with marriage - one a widower who was offering her a place as English teacher at a boarding school when she thought he was offering his hand; and the other to a Frenchman who jilted her and ran off with £100 of her money the day before the wedding. Unsymptathetic. (PB)
