About This Book

An irrepressible young ward narrates a series of comic domestic episodes in which her prankish behavior repeatedly embarrasses her respectable guardians and their tutor. After a fainting spell leaves relatives convinced of her death, she listens to their eulogies and reexamines her conscience, vanity, and attachments, notably to a gentle cousin and a vivacious youth. Determined to spare her household further trouble, she contemplates a decisive change in her life. The narrative blends light satire of bourgeois propriety with self-aware first-person reflection and episodic mishaps.
