A young woman finds herself disinherited in favor of her guardian’s housekeeper.

Armstrong “can tell a story very pleasantly, and has an instinct for a plot.” Academy, March 6, 1897

A “well-told story of to-day, written in good English.” Athenaeum, March 20, 1897

“Distinctly good”; the heroine is “very lifelike.” Spectator, October 9, 1897
