The Widow and the Colonel.

By Rochelle Owens

THE STORY: Is concerned with the courtship of the tall, young frontier colonel George Washington, and the young widow Martha Custis. The action begins at a musical event attended by Martha Custis and her friend Mrs. Chamberlayne, at which the dashing Colonel Washington appears to pay too close attention to the bewitching Sally Fairfax, the wife of one of his oldest friends. But, aided by Mrs. Chamberlayne, the two young people come together in a series of amusing and sensitive encounters which reveal the yearnings and contradictions that beset them both. And, in the end, the depth of their feelings for each other is made real and plans are begun for the joyous occasion of their wedding.
