Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Janet: A Poor Heiress
Mrs. Vail mig'ht 'w'ell Jask for horses and driver waited at the gate and her husband stood at the hall-door, hat in hand, - a man who could not abide delays. Dear me, mamma, I don't know where your bonnet is. When did you wear it last? Returned Miss Janet from the depths of a pile Of laces. Pretty, dainty, little Mrs. Vail looked aggrieved. She had assumed one great burden in life, the charge of her very intricate nervous system, and it did seem unreasonable to expect her at the same time to have the care of her clothes.
