Description
Sally was an honoured guest in a palatial country home. Aunt Mabel, the lovelorn columnist of Home Chats magazine, had been summoned to prevent the Duchess of Dartware's son, Paul, from a marriage that others believed a fate worse than death. Who would have guessed that behind Aunt Mabel's acid pen and ageless wisdom lurked the real 18-year-old Sally Blane, determined to make the handsome marquess her own! But how could she compete, wearing false wrinkles and a white wig?Tags

La Posta del Cuore
Sally è una ventenne decisa e vivace che sprizza simpatia da tutti i pori. Arcistufa di abitare con la noiosa famiglia della svampita sorella maggiore, con invenzioni e stratagemmi riesce a farsi assumere da un giornale come redattrice della Posta del Cuore. Sì firma "Zia Mabel" e prende le sembianze... di una arzilla settantenne.
Situazione bizzarra e piena di rischi, tanto più quando la finta vecchietta deve recarsi in un castello per consigliare in faccende di cuore il giovane e scapestrato erede.
L'amore è in agguato, ma Sally ha settant'anni… Tutto sembra perduto. Non resta che la fuga.
Ed ecco che l'intraprendente Sally ha un ennesimo colpo di genio...
