Marie and the West Wind Courtship Ends in a Lonely Lesson
Sophie Irene Loeb tells how Marie, a lively young woman, displays a sweet side only in company while her temper erupts at home.

Marie loses her chance, remains single, and the tale ends with the moral that manners shown only for outsiders fool no one.
