\"The Goose Girl\" is one such, taking place in an imaginary German principality. The Grand Duke of Ehrenstein\'s daughter has been missing for years, and he blames neighboring Jugendheit. War may result. Enter Gretchen, the beautiful goose girl, who can read, write, do sums, and loves music. Is she more than she seems? What will happen between the American consul Carmichael, and the charming Princess Hildegard? It\'s the time of Bismarck, and the air is dark with plots.
