Jill the Reckless

Abstract

The book heroine, Jill Mariner, is a sweet-natured and wealthy young woman who, at the opening, is engaged to an member of parliament, the baronet Sir Derek Underhill. We follow her through financial disaster, an adventure with a parrot, a policeman and the colourful proletariat, a broken engagement, an awkward stay with some grasping relatives, employment as a chorus girl, and the finding of true love.
