Oh please oh please don’t pull a Shakespearean switch.

I think I remember first reading convoluted romance plots like this in junior high. I never did become much of a fan.

Good idea to get this one behind us.

We got people here in Brooklyn that could solve this in no time.

Jessie could live with the angels (or sleep with the fishes), and the boys that did it would make sure that nobody would find out who did it. And they might even share the cannoli.

1st- Ardis, thanks for speeding up the posting.

2nd- GAHH!! I was so hoping for a realization that all peoples are good, leading Nell to even be proud of her heritage. Ugh.

Isn’t it speshul? Now that this red-blooded girl can claim white blood, she can become a blueblood. Dick and Jessie are certainly a lot more likeable than any of the centerpieces, but their eagerness to ally themselves with the Redfields and Everetts makes even them suspect!

Oh, this is just awful. Nell is a flake, Nate is engaged and still writing letters to her as his old girlfriend, proclaiming his undying love for her. All of this leaves Dick, again, in an “Untied State(s)”.

How noble poor Nell envisions herself to be! Has she tried self flagellation? I tell you, Dick should run away as fast as he can, and take Jessie with him. These Redfields and Everetts are a lost cause.

And all of this served on a platter of justifying racial bigotry. When I compared this historical artifact as being just like a buffalo chip is an artifact, I meant it is exactly like a buffalo chip.
