For Sally, as charming and forthright as she was pretty, the path through life seemed likely to be one of roses and still more roses - engaged to a man she loved, she had just come into a respectable inheritance. But, proverbially, the course of true love rarely runs smoothly and fate had some nasty shocks in store for her - both of love and fortune. This romantic story, with its colourful, often eccentric, characters is set against a theatrical background.
