Description

Young Robert Frost becomes private secretary to a wealthy lady and accompanies her on a trip through Europe. This 1900 sequel to Out for Business relates the further adventures of Robert Frost, who left his home in Granville, near Chicago, because of an evil, demanding stepfather, James Talbot. Robert Frost loses his job in Chicago, but then accepts a position as a private secretary and confidant to Mrs. Vernon, a rich matron. Mrs. Vernon has a dishonest nephew, Frederic. He plans to gain possession of her estate by having her committed to an insane asylum. Mrs. Vernon takes Robert to England to escape Frederic, but her nephew forges a $600 check on her account and follows her there. Frederic tries to force Mrs. Vernon's carriage over a steep cliff, but Robert, daringly brings the team to a halt, sparing their lives. Frederic robs Mrs. Vernon and flees to America. When Mrs. Vernon returns to Chicago, Frederic commits her, and Robert must free her to set things right. This edition of the book contains the original illustration, rejuvenated, and nine additional illustrations that are unique to this edition of the book.
