Henry Lester was very wealthy, in fact uncomfortably so, for when he fell in love, he couldn’t be sure that Sally Raeburn, the object of his affections, wouldn’t marry him for his money rather than for love of him. So he didn’t ask her to marry him at all, but instead laid a neat little trap for her. At his country estate on the Hudson he assembled a house party, and among those present were Mrs Dewitt, a former sweetheart of his, and Mr Hastings, a young man of reputed wealth, and of course Sallie. How the trap, when it was sprung, caught not only Sallie, but Henry himself, is told in the story.
