Desperate Remarrying Scheme and a Sheltered Heiress
A unnamed English town tale begins with a noble woman seeking a husband at a tavern. She marries a poor, dirty man for security then rides away. The second tale follows Gwendolin, heiress to vast wealth, and her guardian Roger Millbank who schemes to force a marriage. Millbank imprisons her, feigns madness, and pursues control, while Beardsley, the true love, vanishes. Gwendolin eventually escapes and lives decades apart from any husband, now eighty, never remarrying. Mary C. Pritchard Ил
