Candace Arden, a shy girl from the country, crosses Narragansett Bay on the steamer Eolus to spend a summer with her cousins in Newport. Among picnics, sailing parties, bric-a-brac and a manual of perfect gentility, she is too often overlooked by her lively cousins, and learns, with the help of a wise older friend, how to master her shyness.
