Description
Maidlin, the beautiful half-Italian girl singer, will be known to all Miss Oxenham’s readers; but Benedicta Bennett, commonly known as Benneyben, is a new friend, and plays a considerable part in the story. She is a schoolgirl of fifteen, and it was quite by chance that she fell in with the Abbey girls. She proves herself to be a true friend and a real heroine before the story ends.
The book is full of incident, and many other old friends make their re-appearance; Daffodil and Abby Gail and Rhoda Kane, and Rosamund, at whose wedding Benneyben meets the girls from Wood End School for the first time.
