The House of Love
by Elizabeth Cheney
Rating: 6 out of 10 stars
Doris Avery is a lonely orphan, quite plain, and without a friend in the world. She is sent to earn her keep at the house of a well-to-do farmer, whose wife aspires to worldly greatness for her daughter. The daughter, a pretty child, has been entirely spoiled by having her every whim gratified by her doting mother, and is selfish and jealous of her little maid. She is unscrupulous, cruel, and exacting, but finds Doris useful sometimes as a playfellow, and gradually even comes to like her a little, as Doris is unfailingly kind and loving to her.
