Summary

A London shop girl was blessed and cursed by the fairies at her Christening with foolish self-confidence, proper self-respect, credulity, trustfulness, vanity and love of approbation and so on just balancing each other out, as they often did. She needed all those gifts and more as she wound her way through one paying post after another, defending her honor and virtue at every stop, until finally she found her way into the arms of one who will cherish her.
