Miss Billy's Decision

A series of romance novels written for a female audience, but enjoyable by all.  By the author of Pollyanna.  Orphaned, 18-year-old Billy Neilson writes to her father's boyhood friend, William Henshaw, for whom she was named, asking whether she can make her home with him. Thinking her a boy, he and his two brothers agree to take her in to their bachelor quarters. To their consternation and delight, she turns their lives topsy turvy -- until a well-meaning busybody makes it clear just how much she's "upset" their previously placid existence. Ultimately, the story turns into a tame farce of mixed-up love affairs, but Miss Billy and her cohorts are charming.  In this second book of the series, Billy is engaged to Bertram Henshaw, the artist. But the course of true love is fraught: She fears that he really only loves her as a model, while he believes he has a rival. Sister Kate meddles, too.
