About This Book

A one-act comedy centers on a young woman whose father intends to marry her to a long-promised suitor to repay an old obligation, while she feels listless and resists because of a solemn vow to a beloved cousin who departed years earlier for service abroad. Raised together, the cousins exchanged rings and a moonlit ritual that fixed her fidelity; paternal insistence and practical financial motives clash with her romantic constancy. The plot stages the conflict between duty and first love, with family quarrels, sentimental memory, and the heroine's faltering health creating both tension and gentle comic moments.
