The Day after the Fair

By Frank Harvey


Anna, a servant girl from the country, meets an attractive stranger from London at the annual town fair. Illiterate, Anna persuades her mistress to carry on a correspondence with him on her behalf. In writing her servant's love letters, and reading out his replies, the mistress herself falls in love with Charles and he, unwittingly, with her. Charles, innocent of the deception, proposes marriage to Anna. Only when it is too late does he discover the real writer of the letters. On this shaky foundation the young couple start their marriage, leaving the mistress, desolate.
