Helena's Colonel is a story that doesn't make sense, followed by what I term "spam content" where a short story (maybe 50-100 pages) was followed by 1500 pages of OTHER stories that I've seen before in "spam books" (similar original stories stuffed with "bonus content" by the publishers )
To recap, Mom sent for mail order bride Helena, only to use her as nanny/maid and to entice the broken-hearted colonel out of his depression (after death of his first wife). Once the colonel was mostly recovered, mom sent Helena packing. Colonel found out and caught her and married her. The end. Does this plot even make sense? How does mom even know a mail order bride would work, much less make her work as a maid rather than a bride? And why send her packing after he's recovered? Who came up with non-sensical plots like this?
