Autre(s) titre(s): De Soldatendochter
Année: 1916
Description: At Castle "De Werve", debt-ridden Colonel von Zwenken's daughter and her husband John Mordaunt await the birth of a child. Mordaunt's aunt has promised that if it is a son named after her late husband, she will allow the boy an annual allowance of 20,000 guilders. When a daughter is born, Mordaunt, anxious to keep the money, telegraphs Aunt Roselaar that he has a son called Francis, or Frans for short. When the mother dies, father and grandfather bring up Frans as a boy. The nursemaid tries to prevent this by teaching her a girl's manners, but is thwarted by Rolf, Von Zwenken's adjutant, who teaches the girl to ride and to fence and nicknames her Major Frans.
