Memoirs of a Midget

When her father dies, Miss M. becomes an orphan, difficult for anyone, but more so for Miss M., who is also extremely small. Because of her size, she is treated like a stupid child or just regarded as a curiosity. She develops an infatuation with Fanny, the daughter of one of her guardians, but Fanny disregards her entirely. After being courted by a dwarf, Miss M. decides to become independent and joins a circus.
