About the book
It was a bombshell when old Mr. Elsgood said that a newcomer, Stephen Harmon, was coming from London to take over the law firm of Elsgood and Elsey in the sleepy Midland town of Cheslyn Slade. Nell, Mr. Elsgood's secretary, was not at all sure that she was going to like the change - especially when she overheard Stephen Harmon saying, "My secretary works for peanuts. Come to think of it, that's about what she's worth."
