Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"Sweet Ermengarde, or, The Heart of a Country Girl" is a comedic short story by H. P. Lovecraft (yes, that one), written around 1920 and first published posthumously in 1943.It is a parody of the formula melodrama, in which an innocent young woman is romanced by a strong upright young man and menaced by a Dastardly Whiplash villain, and everything turns out all right in the end.Ethyl Ermengarde Stubbs, who isn't as simple as she makes out, is romanced by poor but honest Jack Manly and menaced by the wicked 'Squire Hardman. There's a kidnapping, an elopement, a poor woman alone and friendless on the streets of the heartless big city, and many other dangers, but it all comes right in the end (for Ermengarde, if not necessarily for anyone else). | |

Affably Evil | |
| Sweet Ermengarde / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Hilariously invoked for a single line with Squire Hardman; when he realizes the fortune attached to Ermengarde could be obtained simply by foreclosing her house rather than conducting a elaborate damsel-in-distress scheme, the Squire lets Ermengarde go and politely apologizes for the And Now You Must Marry Me bit before reverting instantly back to Whiplash mode. | |

Author Appeal | |
| Sweet Ermengarde / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: H.P. Lovecraft adored cats, and 'Squire Hardman's depravity is established when he kicks, not a dog, but an "unquestionably innocent" cat. | |
