[Aunt Jane's Nieces on Vacation by Edith Van Dyne]@TWC D-Link bookAunt Jane's Nieces on Vacation CHAPTER VII 12/20
For months I have admired the cartoons signed 'Het' in the New York papers, for they were essentially clever and droll.
Miss Hewitt is highly recommended but like most successful artists is not always to be relied upon.
I'm told if you can manage to win her confidence she will be very loyal to you." The other letter was from the editor of a great New York journal.
"In giving you Hetty," he said, "I am parting with one of our strongest attractions, but in this big city the poor girl is rapidly drifting to perdition and I want to save her, if possible, before it is too late. She has a sweet, lovable nature, a generous heart and a keen intellect, but these have been so degraded by drink and dissipation that you may not readily discover them.
My idea is that in a country town, away from all disreputable companionship, the child may find herself, and come to her own again.
