A fragmentary poem by WABLON M. De LATIH critiques human envy and class pride. It contrasts neighboring wealth with moral judgments, urging humility over disdain for those less well off.
In a provincial setting, Egerton Doolittle, a feeble minded but earnest young man, woos Caroline Temple amid comic misadventures and a pushy family. Meanwhile Archibald Goldmore seeks Sibyl Temple, sparking clashes with his nephew Harry over marriage and propriety. Sophia Temple gently mediates, balancing worldly tactics with a higher aim of virtue as Percival confesses love to Sophia and the courtship deepens.
In a village room Sophia outshines Percival as a tale unfolds of a parson, a new hat, and a dignified dean. Percival’s plan to woo Rosy falters as mishap and laughter erupt, leaving him humbled while the rector adds to the clamor with mirthful exclamations.
In a February drawing room Percival declares his love for a pictured heroine and Sophia Temple learns the tale she fears will become her own. The confession erupts as Sophia’s tear reveals shared longing, while Percival mistakes her emotion for anger and presses for a quick pledge. The scene ends with a kiss and a cliffhanger.
