A memoir narrative recalls a lifelong habit of laughter in all settings from funerals to school. The narrator describes disruptions, punishments, and social embarrassment as laughter clashes with etiquette and love. Edward Payson is introduced as a suitor who hopes to tame her spirit, but he leaves to pursue friendship after a failed romance.
A narrator recalls multiple would be lovers and humorous failures as she laments being a lonely old maid.
