Man and Wife
Authorship not stated
You are Anne, governess to Blanche Lundie at Windygates, waiting in the summer house for Geoffrey Delamayn to honor a private promise of marriage. He arrives only to say his father has collapsed, leaving his friend Arnold Brinkworth to carry his instructions — and, when a Scottish innkeeper refuses a lone woman a room, to speak for you instead. Blanche covers for you while the storm closes in; by the inn's register, one careless word has already named you and Arnold husband and wife.
