We used often, at the office, to marvel why Miss Blake ever wore a collar, or a tucker, or a frill, or a pair of cuffs. So far as clean linen was concerned, she would have appeared infinitely brighter and fresher had she and female frippery at once parted company. Her laces were always in tatters, her collars soiled, her cuffs torn, and her frills limp. I wonder what the natives thought of her in France! In London, we decided—and accurately, I believe—that Miss Blake, in the solitude of her own chamber, washed and got-up her cambrics and fine linen—and it was a "get-up" and a "put-on" as well.

Harry Patterson, who narrates, works as a clerk for in a law firm who have on their books a house called River Hall, owned by Miss Blake, an eccentric woman whose visits are always popular, and come about whenever the ten

Ever since her moneylender father committed suicide years ago, Helena and her wildly eccentric spinster aunt, Miss Bell, have lived largely off the proceeds of renting out the house he left them. The trouble -- as Miss Bell's solicitor, Mr. Craven, in charge of the lettings, knows all too well -- is
