Such a sweet book from a simpler time. Two young ladies are invited by a friend to take a trip to New York to stay with her rich uncle for a few weeks. Another cousin has also been invited, and the four girls have lovely adventures at the uncle's house and touring around town, meeting and mingling with society youth. As the book goes on, a small mystery is introduced, casting suspicion on each of the young ladies. In the end, everything is resolved and the story has a happy ending.
This is a wonderfully written story. The descriptions that the authouress gave painted pictures in my mind. The only question I have is when did the story take place? The intrigue continues.
