When first we practice to deceive... All Morwenna Beaugard wanted was to be able to give gifts to the other business-girls that worked with her at Frith Chambers without giving away her shameful secret: she was not as poor as they were but was a lady of private means! So when she invents a beau for herself, a Mr. Paul Wright, and pretends that the gifts she dispenses like Lady Bountiful are from him, she never realizes what a tangled web will result, and how, worst of all, she may end up with... The Wrong Mr. Right. Praise for Berta Ruck: "One can always depend on finding an interesting plot, strongly tinged with originality, in any novel by this author." – The New York Times, April 23, 1922
