She Stoops is part character
comedy, part farce. It is the story of Mr. Marlow, who has been sent
to the country from London to meet for the first time the young lady
whom his father has chosen to be his wife, if the two of them like
each other. The young lady, Kate Hardcastle, meets Mr. Marlow, but he
is so shy around “women of his class” that he won’t even look
at her when they meet. Attracted by his intelligence and good lucks,
but appalled by his lack of social grace, she pretends to be the bar
maid of the inn that Marlow thinks he is staying in thanks to a prank
played on him by Kate’s brother, the irrepressible Tony Lumpkin.
Misunderstanding and hilarity ensue, including a chest of jewels
which is stolen at some point by nearly everyone, a seduction
interrupted by the girl’s father, and a hilarious carriage ride
through the bogs and sloughs of rural England.
