The humorous tale of the complications of a young Englishman who is made trustee of the late Mr. Green's large estate and guardian of his quaintly old fashioned daughter, Elma. Although young George Ferrier is none too bright by book-learning standards, he does have his share of common sense. And common sense, as well as patience, is what he needs to cope with Elma's flighty, headstrong attempts to become a "modern" woman. George's valiant efforts to protect the vulnerable girl from cads and her legacy from fortune-hunters make a frolicsome story of effervescent good nature. A merry tale of English humor, neatly and happily written.
