AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An orphaned girl spends the night alone in the house she shared with her brother - receiving his note explaining his absence too late to bank a large sum of money they were holding for a client. She wakens to the sound of someone breaking in and hides up her chimney - only to fall asleep and tumble down hours later. The thief is in fact a friend of her brother's - it is St Valentine's Day - romance follows. (PB)
