At the time of Jane Austen, there were young ladies in the fashionable English baths of Bath introduced to society to sharpen up and get a desirable part under the supervision of matins. The heroine of the story is Catherine, the daughter of a country parson, an honest, guileless, joyful creature who, in an unusual environment, encounters many pitfalls in addition to the welcome joys. Although her head is confused by terrifying Gothic novels, the popular reading for girls at the time, and she often sees romantic drama even in completely ordinary phenomena, in the end her keen sense shows her the right path and everything ends happily with dear Catherine.
