TWO LOVERS
Two men profess their love for her: One, the heir of a wealthy miser, and the other, the third son of a nobleman. Which will she choose? How can she know what the future holds for either of them? Will she allow herself to be guided by vanity and the lust for position and consequence, or will she listen to her heart?
