May Saunders Chooses Independence Over Marriage Proposals
In Dayton a twenty four year old May Saunders refuses two suitors, John Brant and Harry Rogers, despite both proposing within a day. The narrator notes Brant’s steadiness and Rogers’s public esteem, but May insists she will not marry either, aiming to remain an old maid if necessary, while friends speculate on the outcome as time passes.
