Susan Clegg, a determined spinster in a small American village, has opinions about everything and delivers them in torrents to her friend Mrs. Lathrop, who says almost nothing. Her attempts to get married, village scandals, church affairs and the uproar of the minister’s vacation, with a cow and the minister both on view, are all told in Susan’s breathless voice.
