Cousin Tennie and Florence Dandard’s Improbable Journey
A gentleman narrator recounts a fall trip with Miss Florence Dandard who travels under a mistaken assumption of kinship. On a Boston to St. Louis journey they share growing affection. The tale ends with a reveal, reunion in St. Louis, and the couple later marrying, while church debates and local notices close the page.
