Mr. Bolton confided to his fellow-boarders what he conceived to be the real cause of Mrs. Craske-Morton's decision.
"She's afraid of what Miss Wangle would eat if left unfed for an extra hour," he had said.
Miss Wangle's appetite was like Dominie Sampson's favourite adjective, "prodigious."
So it came about that on the Friday evening on which Colonel Peter Bowen had announced his intention of calling on Patricia, Galvin House, all unconscious of the event, sat down to its evening meal at its usual time, in its usual coats and blouses, with its usual vacuous smiles and s. . . Read More

I enjoyed this book a great deal despite it showing its age occasionally. Written in 1918, it's the story of a woman well on the road to spinsterhood who steps off that road in a fit of pique and catches the eye of a wonderful young man who has a hard time taking no for an answer.

1) the humor - in witty conversations and funny characters (well chosen)
Circumstances might alter, thrones totter, but Miss Brent's decisions would remain unshaken
"we women are all as unreasonable as the Income Tax"
2) a charmi
3.5 stars. This is a witty, somewhat fluffy British romance written in 1918. There's a meet-cute: Patricia Brent, a secretary in her twenties, lives in a boarding house with a bunch of rather catty gossips. One night she overhears a couple of them snidely commenting on her lack of dates. Incensed, s
