He invites him to attend a stag card game one afternoon, having previously arranged with his sister and several young ladies, to whom the bachelor is known as a woman hater, to appear upon the scene of card playing as if by accident. In the hopes that he may change his life of single blessedness to that of a Benedict. The friend's expectations are not realized, for the bachelor's discomfort becomes apparent as soon as the ladies appear; he does not enjoy their singing nor does he partake of the wine. He does, however, find great pleasure in the society of his friend's sister, who manages to change his career. In order to dodge the unerring aim of cupid he departs as gracefully as possible, in his haste forgetting a favorite book he had brought with him. Returning later for his book he finds the young lady alone. Instinctively she feels her love reciprocated and taking advantage of the leap year privilege, makes a proposal of marriage and is accepted. Written by
