Ask Jane

Cedric Williamson has been hoodwinked into a most unwise investment, to his dismay. Where to turn for advice? Perhaps his aunt's companion, Miss Jane Gabriel, might help - the pretty scholar always has her nose in a book and she seems to know everything worth knowing. But she betrays a charming inexperience when it comes to matters of the heart - a subject in which Cedric would have to declare himself the expert. Jane Gabriel finds Cedric's attentions a distracting nuisance. She cannot imagine why he pays her so many compliments, brings her flowers, and flirts with her shamelessly. A handsome rake of such renown cannot possibly be interested in her...or can he? That is the most intriguing question of all...
