Local notes
Kate is the traditional kind-hearted maiden, but there is a twist: her stepsister Meghan is the more beautiful. However, Kate's mother contrives to disfigure Meghan so that Kate will be the one to shine by comparison. Kate, however, foils her plan when she works with the despairing Meghan to restore her fair face.
