The Young in Heart

227 pp. "The predatory Carleton clan--a family of card-sharps, spongers, and romantic adventurers--spot their next target in a lonely old woman appropriately named Miss Fortune. Their initial disdain for the lady's kindness and trusting nature turns in time to twinges of conscience, then an eagerness to please, then true affection. By the end of the dreary English winter the quartet's encounter with Miss Fortune has proven the most fortunate thing that could ever have happened to them."--GoodReads
