About the book
Jane Winfarthing was helping out with Mary Wroxham's jolly brood of children for the summer when Mary's brother David Carleton arrived on the scene — and made a far from good impression on Jane! 'A blue-stocking', he called her. 'But clever enough to camouflage her brains with frilly nighties, and to know that a light hand with an omelette is worth several degrees in the long run.' He was obviously one of those insufferable men who regarded unmarried women as playthings and married women as unpaid house-keepers. And he was going to join their camping holiday in Switzerland! Well, she for one, Jane decided, was not going to be yet another scalp on his belt. Let him turn his attention to the more obvious kind of girl like—well, like Chloe Brundali. Why should Jane care ? In fact, why did she care ?
