They are both interested in marrying Mr. Hardcastle's daughter, Kate, and her cousin, Constance Neville. However, Marlow is shy around women of his own class and becomes tongue-tied and awkward in their presence. To rectify this, Kate decides to pretend to be a barmaid and flirt with Marlow, hoping to win his affections. Meanwhile, Constance is being forced into a marriage with a man she does not love, and she and Hastings devise a plan to elope.

Young, handsome: these he put last; but I put them foremost. Sensible, good-natured; I like all that. But then reserved and sheepish; that's much against him. Yet can't he be cured of his timidity, by being taught to be proud of his wife? Yes, and can't I--But I vow I'm disposing of the husband before I have secured the lover.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
