The novel was turned into a play which appeared in 1874 at the Royalty Theatre in London. The heroine, Archie, a tomboy, is one of Annie Edwardes’s increasingly “bohemian” characters, reflecting the author’s move toward daring, independent female characters. Archie scandalizes her community by sneaking out at night in boy’s clothing.
