Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Happy Valley
There will be no room for your fine maid, no occasion for your fine feathers. A stout stick and a pair of strong boots will take the place of your elec tric brougham. But in spite of all these deficiencies I have a presentiment that you will thoroughly enjoy the trip, and find a summer in Norway an agreeable break in the programme of a society woman, who goes through the social year like a squirrel in a cage. Let me have a wire, yes or no, ' by ten O'clock, for I am a person of prompt action, and the rods on my water are in urgent demand.
