| 520 | _a"The Shotgun Princess" by William Merriam Rouse is a short story likely written in the early 20th century. This narrative blends elements of romance and humor while exploring themes of family dynamics and courtship. It revolves around the story of Doris Wilkins and her overprotective brother, Orla, who uses a shotgun to ward off suitors, particularly the spirited Johnny Trumbull, who is determined to win Doris’s affection. The storyline unfolds in the kitchen of the Wilkins home, where Johnny Trumbull finds himself pitted against the formidable Orla Wilkins, who is both humorous and menacing as he guards his sister with a shotgun. As tensions rise, Doris, portrayed as a sweet yet spirited character, ultimately plays a crucial role in diffusing the situation. The climax highlights a humorous standoff over a delicious pie that Doris bakes, leading to a unique resolution where Orla’s hunger overcomes his aggression, allowing for a potential peaceful coexistence. The narrative captures the absurdity of the situation while examining the lengths to which siblings will go to protect one another, all within the framework of love and persistence in courtship.
