It was hardly surprising that Philippa should be a complete 'ugly duckling'. For the whole of her twenty-one years she had known nothing but the rigid, narrow upbringing of a strict Victorian uncle and aunt. She had had no ex-perience of any sort.

And then, just when Philippa's happiness seemed to be complete. the jealousy of another woman threatened to destroy it all.
