The Reform'd Coquet, alternately titled The Memoirs of Amoranda, is a novella, about 70 pages long, written by Mary Davys and published in 1724.
It is an important work in helping to establish the form of the novel: according to feminist critic and anthologist Paula R. Backscheider, The Reform'd Coquet "shows the influence of Restoration and eighteenth-century marriage comedies; It was immediately popular and went through seven editions by 1760."
Lord Lofty had promised to marry Altemira or pay her ten thousand pounds.
Pitying her, Amoranda successfully schemes to make Lord Lofty marry Altemira to salvage her reputation.
Shortly thereafter, Lady Betty and Amoranda's uncle both show up and the couple are married that afternoon; a week later they all go to London.
