Book Excerpt
He laughed, although he held her very close.
"Do you think, my dear, I would go away until I felt very certain that you were going to be happy? I'm not sure how well you'd like it at Aunt Josephine's--it would be very different. Still--you'd have that French maid of hers for a nurse and go out with her and Fido for his walk and ride in the yellow motor and have all kinds of frilled dresses and feathered hats--" He was imitating Aunt Josephine's voice in a very funny manner that made Keineth laugh.

Happy little Keineth Randolph lives an odd, sheltered life in New York City with her father and her French governess, but then her "Tante" must return to war-torn Europe and her father is ordered off on a yearlong secret mission. Keineth must choose between going to live with her stuffy Aunt Josephine or a family of complete strangers.
Although Keineth is an almost insufferably good little girl, her adventures in this cheery girls' book are lively and interesting enough to overcome that defect.
