The Chappie and the Governor in a Dorset Romance
A London man, Mountjoy Jenkinson, recounts his comic courtship of Mrs. Wilbraham in a Dorset village. He and the widow fall for each other during seaside walks, while his hard-headed governor disdains sentiment in favor of wealth and social standing. The engagement ensues only to reveal the governor’s deep distrust of the match and his insistence on proving the heiress’s finances before any union, leading to a sharp confrontation and a pledge to adjust allowances to balance pride and love.
