Authorship not stated

You are Ann Veronica, arguing with your father over a single evening's invitation: a fancy-dress ball hosted by Kitty Brett, which he flatly forbids. You turn down Mr Manning's marriage proposal, then pack one case and leave before dawn for a room in London. Rent and laboratory fees eat your savings within a day, and a family acquaintance is already offering to lend you the rest.
