An Obnoxious Beau and Cunning Advice Letter
A reader cites a 1887 column about detaching a young woman from an overbearing suitor. The writer outlines humorous and sharp methods, from staging a younger brother to provoke his embarrassment, to distracting him with anecdotes or a glassy laugh, and even using a watchful observer to spark tension. The letter ends with a plea for further suggestions and confirmation of plans.
