AbstractHistoryArchive Description

US tale of two sisters and public opinion: Helen who descends the scale of flirtation to lose her reputation and her fiancee; Prudie who keeps herself modest and pure and gains her sisters ex-fiancee. His hypocrisy - having carried on numerous flirtations himself - is noted, and public opinion recognised as unjust but powerful. Decorous combination of exemplary warning and small protest. (PB)
