The story begins three days after the end of the previous book, Aunt Jane’s Nieces at Millville; the freckled and red-haired Patsy still sports a sunburn from her summer in the Adirondacks. She and Louise have received letters from their “cousin” Kenneth Forbes, the young man who inherited Aunt Jane’s estate in the first book of the series. Kenneth has become involved in politics: he is running as the Republican candidate for the local seat in the New York State legislature, but thinks he is going to lose to his opponent.
