About This Book

An aging scholar is unexpectedly named guardian of a seventeen-year-old girl by a dying friend, prompting comic alarm over finances, respectability, and the demands of youth. He soon learns that the girl's aunt will provide for her daily care while he administers her inheritance, but his anxieties about social opinion, age, and propriety clash with the girl's vivacity. The narrative follows the adjustments this arrangement imposes on household routines and public reputation, using light comedy of manners and character observation to explore responsibility, eccentricity, and the awkward consequences of sudden kinship.
