Excerpt from the book Courting: An Intimate History of Love and the Law by Alecia Simmonds. The passage describes Beatrice meeting Frederick at the Captain Cook Hotel. Frederick, described as cavalier, stocky, and a “spinner of yarns,” claimed to be wealthy, forty, and a widower. After a month of infatuation, he proposed with a wedding ring, but almost none of what he told her was true.
