Lady Jennifer

Lady Jennifer is a 1908 novel by British writer Henrietta Stannard, published under her pseudonym John Strange Winter. The story follows Nancy Trevor, who marries an old and wealthy baronet rather than the poor artist she loves. The baronet's malicious half-brother Hudson colludes with the baronet's butler; they threaten to expose Nancy's love letters with the artist, Dick Harrington, and cause Dick to be jailed. Eventually, Dick gets his revenge on Hudson and is able to marry Nancy. Reviews of the novel compared it favourably to Stannard's previous works, praising the engaging plot. In 1915, it was adapted into a silent film featuring Harry Royston as the butler.
