Little Miss Grouch by Samuel Hopkins Adams (1871 - 1958)

A young man, known to readers first as the Tyro, meets a young woman all in tears, who is running away on a ship to England from her family and fiancé. She looks terrible in that state, and is intent on crying through the entire voyage. After she recovers, and turns out to be surpassingly beautiful, he doesn’t recognize her. Then she turns her mind to revenge for that failure, and a mixture of hilarity and misery ensues through the entire voyage. - Summary by Mokurai
