AbstractHistoryArchive Description

English tale of a son disguised as his elderly father in order to win a local tennis prize - a costly silver cup - with the handicap he is given. Strangers who had seen the real old man on the train, and a maid who finds a false beard, foil their scheme at the last minute. (PB)
