Sinopse

"This is a most amusing little story of what we may call the “genteel farce” kind. Mrs. Pendleton, who has been a pronounced flirt in her married life, becomes a widow at twenty-four, and receives simultaneous offers of marriage from four admirers. It must, she thinks, be a practical joke; to avenge the insult she engages herself to the four." —The Spectator, 11 July 1903
