is fake; Bobbie's plan is that her mother, who does not like Bertie, will be so relieved that Bobbie is not actually engaged to Bertie that she will readily approve of Bobbie's engagement to the man Bobbie really wants to marry, Reginald "Kipper" Herring. Her mother might not otherwise approve, since, though Bobbie loves Kipper, she acknowledges that he does not have a title and is not wealthy. Bobbie and Kipper have disputes in the novel but they ultimately reconcile and are engaged at the end of the story. Aside from Bertie and Kipper, Bobbie was courted by Roland Attwater in "Something Squishy", Dudley Finch in "The Awful Gladness of the Mater", Clifford Gandle in "Mr Potter Takes a Rest Cure", and Ambrose Wiffin in "The Passing of Ambrose". Bobbie also appears in "Dudley Is Back to Normal", though this story was later rewritten to be a Mr. Mulliner story without Bobbie. In the original version of the story, Dudley is charmed by Bobbie and falls for her again. After she tricks him, Dudley no longer has feelings for her and is back to normal.
