Contents

  • When we last saw Janie Lucy, she and Julian were rejoicing in their firstborn daughter. Now, the mother of four imps, she answers an appeal from her old chum, Rosamund Willoughby, to help with Rosamund's cousin, Nan Blakeney, who is fretting herself into grave illness over the death of her adored mother.
  • Janie "steps in" in her inimitable way, aided by her own resourceful family, as well as nephews and nieces, rescues Nan from her unnatural grieving and assists her to become a happy, helpful girl who can face troubles bravely when they come. In this way Nan Blakeney becomes fitted for the happier times that lie before her, and all ends well.
