Nonstop action in this late Streatfeild, with a feisty orphan battling a horrid orphanage Matron, long-lost aristocrats, journeying on a canal boat (this was my favorite part), and ending up in a traveling theatre. I enjoyed it though I wonder why nobody offers to strangle Margaret with her stockings when she keeps on and on about her "three sets of everything, all of the very best quality."
