The village banker's wife was ambitious that her daughter should make a notable marriage, and had picked out a young British nobleman whose blood was as blue as his pocket was empty. The girl did not approve of the suitor, but this made no difference to the mother and the father was afraid to interfere. The mother invited the nobleman to visit them in the country to participate in the joys of "an old-fashioned American winter," and he gladly complied, as it fell in with his plans. The girl, however, failing to move her mother by arguments, decided to resort to strategy. With the aid of a few accomplices, including her father, she gave the nobleman such an unexpectedly lively time that he hated winter and the country. In fact, so strongly did he feel that when the banker consented to the marriage on condition that his son-in-law live with him, the nobleman lost no time starting back for Broadway, where the nice comforts of the country do not exist.
