Gascoigne square, Whitborough, is made the scene of a pretty love story in which two young girls from Australia come into the square as mistresses of a board school. Here they meet a number of interesting people, differing widely in character and social position, and here the mystery of their father, who had lived his young life in this very square, is unravelled, leaving them free to marry the two young men of wealth and family who have come to love them. It is not the mystery, however, which is uppermost for interest centers around the quaint characters and their old prejudices: the social climbers, dear old Miss Blackiston, wholehearted Ben Cox, Lord Streybridge, narrow-minded Mrs. Petch, spiteful Miss Marston, and all the others.
