THE LADY OR THE TALKER?
Really and truly, all our hero wants is someone to listen to him
You see, it's quite simple. He had a wonderful time in Europe. He wants to tell folks back in the States all his adventures.
But our hero, in the nineteenth century, confronts a problem that has only gotten worse in the twenty-first.

What to do, oh what to do?
Well -- why nothire someone to listen to him
Why not that pretty young lady from that Protestant charitable order
Oh dear Can aught but misadventures and daffy romance be in the offing?
Find out in this delightful treat from the pen of the author of "The Lady or the Tiger."
