If the Prospect Pleases — Sally Laity

"Housekeeper for widower with two small children. Duties to include cooking and upkeep of home. If the prospect pleases, position may lead to matrimony. Reply to Lucas Brent, Cheyenne, Wyoming."

To Annora Nolan, even the unknown is better than the marriage her guardians are arranging for her. She answers a notice on the public board, then flees Philadelphia on a weekend train...only to arrive at Lucas Brent's farm ahead of her letter.

The widower is adament about sending Annora home. But all Annora asks in one month's trial.
