Robins in the Abbey

by Elsie J. Oxenham

What girl would not be thrilled to find herself heiress to a lovely Welsh castle! Such luck was Robin Brent’s; but how her good fortune threatens to stand in the way of her happiness! Not surprisingly, someone felt displeased, and jealous of the heiress; but, surprisingly enough, this person was, of all people, Lady Quellyn - our old friend Joy of the Abbey School. But for the caprice of Robin’s Godfather ‘Plas Quellyn’ would have been inherited by Joy’s boys, and now this strange girl had come into the Quellyn fortune. But no Abbey girl can bear a grudge for long - certainly not Lady Joy who soon finds out what a grand girl Robin really is and forgives her her good luck. But this is just one part of Robin’s difficulties. What complications arise when another Robin arrives at the Abbey, in the person of Robert Quellyn! But even this situation is not beyond the wile of the old Abbey girls, Jenny-Wren, Maidlin and the rest, who, in their typical, friendly, good-hearted way resolve every difficulty and smooth the way for a general reconciliation.
