U The play opens with Blanche Swift and her sister, Mollie Miller, as well as Aunt , Aurelia, very excited over the prospective visit of their step-mother, the second wife V of the late Esmond Miller, brother of Miss Miller. The girls do not like the idea of this step-mother, who is coming to receive her share of their father's estate which is Ui to be divided. Her former career as an actress, before her marriage in Tokio, is very - displeasing to them. i Frank Cutting, a friend of the family, has fallen in love with Mollie and is trying U to persuade her to elope, because Miss Miller is greatly opposed to Mollie being married. Q Mrs. Miller, formerly Nancy Noyes, arrived unknown and the ' , J thinking that she is a new governess for Mollie. The governess was due to arrive J that day. Exciting events follow, when Bartley learns that Nancy Miller is Nancy ul Noyes, and that he was in love with her two years ago in Tokio, He wrote passionate dl love letters to her, and in fact acted rather foolishly. I-le has never told Blanche of i this for she is disturbingly jealous of him, and she believes first love the only real love. i U Blanche nnds her in Bartley's arms, she becomes furious with him. U i In the meantime Frank and Molly elope, keeping their marriage a secret. u The Count Maurice De Brissoc, a suitor of Nancy's comes to Hastings, and when Q he learns that she is at the home of Bartley Swift, her old sweetheart, he plans to Y J kill Bartley, Poor Bartley finds himself in a sad predicament. However, the Count J learns the true state of affairs, and when the real governess appears, Nancy's J identity is revealed. Blanche forgives Bartley, thinking it all a joke, and goes on 5 ., thinking first love, true love. V ' Mollie and Frank announce their marriage and he is accepted as a member, not U a mere Friend of the Family. J V I CQQIBQZBQIBQZBQZBQIBQZBG 1932 C9Q.foDC.18C.1DC.IDC-IQC-13C-196 22
