The subtitle mostly refers to the mistakes of the character Marlow, who thinks that a private house is an inn.  The "she" of the main title is Miss Hardcastle, who passes herself off as a barmaid in order to woo Marlow, who is shy with ladies but amorous with women "beneath him."  Meanwhile, Miss Hardcastle's cousin Miss Neville has a romance with Marlow's friend Hastings.  And then there's Tony Lumpkin, Miss Hardcastle's half-brother and Miss Neville's very reluctant suitor, who's introduced as an immature lump but ends up being the most likable character.  Plus, various parents and other elders.  A pretty good farce overall.
