The story's protagonist is an imaginative and mischievous woman named Lady Carlotta. A woman named Mrs. Quabarl sees Lady Carlotta at a small train station and assumes that she is Miss Hope, a woman whom Mrs. Quabarl has hired as a governess for her four children. For her own amusement, Lady Carlotta pretends to be Miss Hope and accompanies Mrs. Quabarl to her home. Both Mr. and Mrs. Quabarl are keen for their children to be well educated in history. Lady Carlotta claims to teach history by using the Schartz-Metterklume method. It is later revealed that this method, which is most likely of Lady Carlotta's own invention, consists of getting children to act out historical events.
