About this book

In The Courtship of Susan Bell, John Munroe Bell had been a lawyer in Albany, State of New York, and left two daughters, a second Hetta and Susan Bell. A timid, anxious, pretty, good little wife is described, whose whole heart and mind had been given up to do his bidding and deserve his love. The widow was a timid woman who feared greatly that she should be thought guilty of setting traps for husbands.

At the period of their lives the text describes, Hetta was nearly one-and-twenty and Susan was just nineteen. Hetta is described as a short, plump, demure young woman, with the softest smoothed hair, and the brownest brightest eyes. A man says he loves someone dearly, with all his heart, and that he never saw any one he ever thought so beautiful, so nice, and so good.
