Maine readers are always interested in a book by Clara Louise Burnham and "Clever Betsy" will be no exception, particularly as much of the scene is laid in a little Maine seacoast village which the author calls Fairport, but which readers may recognize by other names. The real "character" of the story is clever Betsy herself, the romance is woven around her prot g , who is the "clinging vine" type of girl, rejoicing in a glorious crown of golden hair and the romantic name of Rosalie Vincent. She is one of the sort who "hopeth all things, endureth all things," (the unwelcome attentions and persecutions of a certain young man excepted) and one is rewarded by winning as fine a young man as the present day affords, and to whom her friendless and orphaned state appeals. But the regulation love affair of this charming young couple is quite lacking in the spice that makes the courtship of Clever Betsy and her captain, Hiram Salter, so diverting. -Lewiston Evening Journal, Oct. 17, 1910
Aunt Harriet never meant to say any of this when Elizabeth Ann could hear, but the little girl's ears were as sharp as little girls' ears always are, and long before she was nine she knew all about the opinion Aunt Harriet had of the Putneys. She did not know, to be sure, what "chores" were, but she took it confidently from Aunt Harriet's voice that they were something very, very dreadful. There was certainly neither coldness nor hardness in the way Aunt Harriet and Aunt Frances treated Elizabeth Ann. They had really given themselves up to the new responsibility, especially Aunt Frances, who was very conscientious about everything. As soon as the baby came there to live, Aunt Frances stopped reading novels and magazines, and re-read one book after another which told her how to bring up children.
Betsy Blake yearns for love and romance, but the unattached men of Virginia City are crude, rough cowboys without the gentlemanly qualities she desires. She pens an advertisement in the paper for a mail-order groom from the east, specifying that he be well-dressed and mannerly. Roderick Mason's reputation as an architect in New York City has earned him great success, but he hasn't been as lucky in love. The women of his circle are too prim and predictable for the adventurous rake. He longs for excitement and a woman who will challenge him. When he reads Betsy's ad in the paper requesting a gentleman groom, he's intrigued, so he heads west to meet her. Roderick and Betsy are immediately smitten, but they soon discover that not everyone in Virginia City is pleased by their match, especially one man who wants Betsy as his own. As Betsy's stalker becomes increasingly threatening, Roderick realizes he will go to great lengths to protect his sweet little country girl, including taking her over his knee for some painful discipline when she misbehaves or puts herself in danger. Will Betsy learn to face her problems and accept Roderick's love and discipline, or will he never succeed at what he desires most--protecting and catching Betsy? Publisher's Note: Catching Betsy is a standalone story in the Mail-Order Grooms series. It contains sexual scenes and adult punishment spanking. If that doesn't appeal to you, please don't buy this book.

In her new rural life, Elizabeth Ann comes to be nicknamed "Betsy," and to find that many activities that Frances had always thought too demanding for a little girl are considered, by the Putney family, routine activities for a child: walking to school alone, cooking, and having household duties to perform...

Understood Betsy By Dorothy Canfield Fisher
"Hello there " The man with grizzled hair and bronzed face under a shabby yachting-cap stopped in his leisurely ramble up the street of a seaport village, and his eyes lighted at sight of a spare feminine figure, whose lean vigorous arms were shaking a long narrow rug at a cottage gate. "Ahoy there-The Clever Betsy " he went on. The energetic woman vouchsafed a sidewise twist of her mouth intended for a smile, but did not cease from her labors, and a cloud of dust met the hastened approach of the seaman. "Here, there's enough o' that Don't you know your captain?" he went on, dodging the woolen fringe which snapped near his dark cheek. "My captain " retorted the energetic one, while the rug billowed still more wildly. She was a woman of his own middle age, and the cloth tied around her head did not add to her charms; but the man's eyes softened as they rested on her. "Here You carry too much sail. Take a reef " he cried; and deftly snatching the rug, in an instant it was trailing on the walk behind him, while Betsy Foster stared, offended. "How long ye been here, Betsy?" "A couple o' days," replied the woman, adjusting the cheese-cloth covering more firmly behind her ears. "Why didn't ye let a feller know?" "Thought I wouldn't trouble trouble till trouble troubled me."
