The Tangled Web
"O WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE, WHEN FIRST WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE!"

Here is the Duke of Chatham, deeply in love with Lady Winship, but supposedly courting her daughter, Mariel, instead. And here is young Algernon Carleton, deeply infatuated with the same Lady Winship, but escorting the same Mariel everywhere!

Add to this Lady Winship's desire to marry her daughter to the duke, and Mariel's determination to marry no one at all.

In the meantime, young John Greeton is beginning to hope he can change Mariel's mind about the happy state of marriage!

Toss in a mischief-maker named George Barton, and mix thoroughly with all of Mariel's social mistakes.

A tangle, indeed!
