The Little Missis

This novel revolves around the life of Phoebe, a young miss who wishes to be a Christian and gives her life to Christ. In this novel, Phebe has two suitors vying for her hand in marriage. Excerpt: "A mile away, in a farmhouse on a height overlooking the little town of Hadley, another earnest soul knelt in prayer: «Lord, help me to put her out of my thoughts. If this is allowed by Thee as discipline, make me willing to bear it. Lord, help me, but Thou knowest how much I loved her!» and a sob, which would have broken his mother's heart if she had heard it, escaped from Stephen Collins as he looked forward to the future. At the foot of the same hill, in the back parlour of a thriving shop, a young fellow was counting his day's takings, and when he had finished, he drew his chair up to the fire to think things over. «Steve Collins thought he was sure of her, I know he did, but I got the start of him for once. I wonder if Phoebe's father is well off! I have got on very well so far, but it is slow work in this sleepy place.» Based on the text, will Phebe accept Stephen Collins who is truly in love with her, or Ralph Waring who wants her for her father's wealth?
