Undated first edition [1919]. Original pale blue cloth, lettered in black. Poor quality post-war paper lightly browned, undated signature on front free endpaper, good. The heroine, Vervain Chalmont, is an independent-minded Suffragette and Socialist, and goes on holiday with a man she meets on the Tube, posing as his wife (he is her holiday husband). But is she quite free of the Victorian morality which would brand her a fallen woman?
