Nancy Stockwell, daughter of the merchant, in love with Belford, but promised in marriage to sir Harry Harlowe’s son. It so happens that sir Harry’s son has privately married another lady, and Nancy falls to the man of her choice.—Garrick: Neck or Nothing (1766).

Stolen Kisses, a drama by Paul Meritt, in three acts (1877). Felix Freemantle, under the pseudonym of Mr. Joy, falls in love with Cherry, daughter of Tom Spirit once valet to Mr. Freemantle (who had come to the title of viscount Trangmar). When Tom Spirit ascertained that “Felix Joy” was the son of the viscount, he forbade all further intercourse, unless Felix produced his father’s consent to the marriage. The next part of the plot pertains to the brother of Tom Spirit, who had assumed the name of Walter Temple, and, as a stock-broker, had become very wealthy. In his prosperity, Walter scornfully ignored his brother Tom, and his ambition was to marry his daughter Jenny to the son of viscount Tragmar, who owed him money. Thus the two cousins, Cherry and Jenny, came into collision; but at the end Jenny married Fred Gay a medical student, Cherry married Felix, the two brothers were reconciled, and Tom released his old master, viscount Trangmar, by destroying the bond which Walter held and gave him.
