More DescriptionOn the day that he met her in the zoo, Molly confided to the Duke her dream of happiness -- to have two pounds a week to spend on books, silly books, and leisure to read them. The Duke, who is nothing if not quixotic, see it as a simple matter to supply the two pounds which will gratify so modest an ambition. But he does not foresee the consequences of the one construction which Molly's family and neighbors put upon his generosity. And again, being a very innocent person, for all his ancient lineage and scientific achievements, he decides to marry the girl, silence the gossiping tongues and let things go on as before. He learns to his extreme irritation that things can't go on as before, and there comes a time, when thanks to his interfering sister, his sentimental friend, the professor, his romantic niece and Molly's own charm, he doesn't want them to.
