Bear, Ballads, and Ballot Box in a Summer Tale
Dorothy needs to choose between love and a rich governor’s bid as a black bear encounter and a misread flirtation set the scene for a dinner with John Mowbray. Her disdain fades when fate pairs her with Jack Elwood, the governor’s future husband. The tale hints at political alliance and a hidden bear charm on a wedding keepsake.
