No wonder she insisted on serving the lemon cake!

Who ever heard of firing off four young ladies in one Season? The prospect did nothing to dim Lady Jeffrey's indomitable spirit and unflagging optimism. The eccentric, aging but loveable aunt had a secret recipe up her sleeve for her nieces.

Miss Abby Milhouse and her three sisters were less optimistic about their chances. They could not have been more surprised when they became the darlings of the ton. Or when each of them in turn received the flattering attentions of a very eligible parti.

The sisters were cock-a-whoop until the secret of their success was revealed. It seemed Lady Jeffrey had cast a magical spell on all their erst-while suitors. The lemon cake was a love potion.
