About

It tells of a beautiful English girl who at the age of 15 is courted by and runs away with a British lieutenant named Montraville. Once in America, Charlotte is abandoned by Montraville, who marries another woman and leaves to fight in the Revolutionary War. Desperate, evicted from her home, and pregnant with Montraville's child, Charlotte goes out in a terrible storm to find the French teacher who originally encouraged her alliance with the officer. Spurned by the corrupt teacher, she is taken in by her servant. Charlotte's father, the son of an English nobleman, whose family name far exceeds his fortune, arrives in time to bury his unfortunate daughter and to claim her illegitimate child.
