No Nice Girl — Perry Lindsay

She was nice in many ways...

When a thoroughly "nice" girl is clever as well, let her less strongly armed sisters beware.

Phyllis Gordon was completely honest and very intelligent. Terry McLean was her first and only lover, and he really loved her.

Kenyon's fiancee, Letty Lawrence, was also well equipped with beauty and brains, and she had money besides.
