The opening · free to read
"Penny Plain" is a story of life in a little town on the banks of the Tweed. Jean Jardine, the heroine--who looks after her brothers in their queer old house, "The Rigs," and is in turn looked after by the old servant, Mrs. McCosh (from Glasgow), and Peter, the fox-terrier--describes herself and her life as "penny plain," but with the coming of Pamela Reston and her brother (who was what Mrs. McCosh called "a Lord--no less"), everything is changed. There is love in the book and laughter. "A very able and delightful book."--_The Times_. "A delicious novel ... a triumphant success."--"A MAN OF KENT" in the British Weekly.
"Portrayed with the humour and insight of a deep affection."--_The Times_. "Elizabeth is a delightful creature who radiates the pages."--_Glasgow Herald_. "To the reading public at large it will prove a sheer delight."--_Glasgow Times_. "Full of charm."--_Spectator_. "A delightful romance."--_Aberdeen Journal_.
