Lisa Carlson's life takes a sudden twist in the third A Maid for All Seasons novel. Darcy Weller, Lisa's friend and mentor, dies in an auto accident and bequeaths Lisa a chain of clothing shops, with Michael Swayne, Lisa's employer, as trustee. Darcy's strict leadership helped Lisa to concentrate, but now even Mr. Swayne's old-fashioned correction methods fail to keep her focused on her job and university education. She becomes moody and argumentative, spoiled by unaccustomed wealth, so Mr. Swayne insists she attend Professor Travis's private college for pampered young ladies.
