Tender Swiss Reckoning of a Widow's Will and a Choice
In Chamonix two orphans, Belle Courtney and Cynthia Earle, weigh the late Miss Banister's will which grants Cynthia control of her fortune for three years with the condition of marrying Gerald Maslyn in South Africa afterwards. Cynthia resists but faces pressure from love, money, and family duty as they prepare for mountain plans and a life shaped by luxury or prudence.
