Squire's Daughter

Being the last tale from the collection &quote;The Belkin Tales&quote;, &quote;The Squire's Daughter&quote; is a story about disguises and playing tricks on people. The heroine Lizaveta decides to fool the rich and handsome Alexei, but even she does not know how far the deceit can go. Humorous, innocent, and a little devilish, Pushkin's story is a merry account of women's devious behavior, always chasing their own end of the deal. But, as all masquerades come to an end, the finale is inevitable and all things fit their proper place.
