Synopsis:
Lighter than many of the novels, her witty stage comedies feature vivid comic characters that include devoted butlers who rule the roost and loquacious handymen. Eccentric Aunt Bijou, the lynch-pin of the action, appears in both Spring Meeting and Dazzling Prospect, plagued by indigestion, making secret bets at the racetrack with the housekeeping money and certain of her own opinion on every matter.
