Synopsis: An overweight woman from back east, about to become penniless, decides to both answer an ad and place one herself to become a mail order bride. It all ends up in confusion as the man’s two daughters, returning home, and the mail order bride, all arrive at the train station at the same time, and with none of them knowing the complete scenario.
Mary had always enjoyed the best that life in Portland, Maine, had to offer. After all, her father Robert Morse I, was the patriarch of the state’s most prestigious law firm, Morse and Morse, LLP. His small staff, handpicked from the brightest, secured the high reputation and longevity of the family name in legal circles.
As a child always Mary wanted to become a member of the firm too, alongside her father and brother, Robert Morse II. I should be a boy,
she thought, so I go everywhere with Father, like Rob.
But by age three she thought she could make it happen if she asked often enough – maybe it could even make things better between her parents and improve her chances - because she was a girl.
Papa, why can’t I go to work with you?
she often asked her loving, overindulgent father. I love books like you so I can read your books and learn about the law too.
My princess will never have to bother her pretty little head about such vile matters,
was his standard response to her little game, as long as her Papa has anything to do with it,
he regularly teased her.
You will marry well and have a handsome, prosperous husband to take care of you, just like I take care of your Mama,
grasping her chubby hand, as he often did when they strolled through the park, on their way to her favorite place -- the Portland Public Library, or for sticky jelly cakes at Reuben Kent’s bakery.
Please,
was her innocent plea, I can work with you and marry a handsome prince at the same time.
However, with the passage of time she grew to accept her fate - women were born into a different destiny - but it added to her anxiety about finding the perfect man. She was sure another man like her father did not exist. If her brother Robert II was the standard by which men of her age were to be judged, they were all brutes.
Robert was arrogant, self-centered and spent much of his time trying to impress their father with his brilliance but made very time for his sister and definitely no time for her mother. His picture was always in the newspaper, attending one important function or another for the law firm. Hence, Mary did not know him very well and neither did she like him.
Oddly, he was once engaged to a beautiful girl who sat with her in the parlor, reading books and coloring pictures but her brother was always unhappy if he saw alone them together, I like Beth, Rob,
she recalled telling him, When will she come again?
after about one year, when there was no mention of her name and there was definitely no wedding. No one would say why when Mary asked about it.
He was not particularly fond of little sister either, When do you plan to stop eating?
he often teased her, when no one else was around. No one will want to court you if you keep eating like that.
Words she found impossible to shake off, even when she put on a brave face in front of
