William Barrington’s Courtship and a Bold Rescue
A comic tale of William Barrington’s twenty fifth year as a bachelor, Julia Watson devises a daring yet gentle plan to reveal her love. A failed confession becomes lively theater as camphor, wit, and a shy heroism rescue the moment, while a broader Near-Atlantic note paints Cape frontierstrife and political sketches.
