Description

In the quiet village of Chickaree, young Hazel—renowned for her spirited wit—finds herself at the center of a delicate social dance. Her guardian, the affluent Duke, has long courted her with a mixture of confidence and generosity, while the townspeople watch the budding romance with equal parts curiosity and gossip. As Hazel returns home after a season in bustling Newport, old acquaintances and new expectations converge, prompting her to weigh personal desire against the duties imposed by her status.

The narrative weaves through lively gatherings, unexpected wedding plans, and the everyday challenges of a close‑knit community. Through lighthearted banter and moments of introspection, the story explores themes of love, self‑assertion, and the often‑humorous pretensions of genteel society. Listeners will be drawn into the charm of 19th‑century rural life, where a simple question—“Will she marry the Duke?”—sets the stage for a delightful tale of heart and humor.
