The Triumph of Jill by Ethel Mills

Cheap apartments are not easily obtainable at watering places in the summer, that is apartments which combine cheapness with a certain amount of comfort. It was Jill who pointed out the likeliest locality to search in, and who finally discovered what they wanted after many fruitless enquiries. They did not suit St. John's taste, however much they might his pocket. He would have pronounced them impossible at once had not Jill firmly maintained that they would do. She had had to study economy so much all her life that she was easily pleased, and really considered the rooms quite good enough for what they required.

"They are," she observed cheerfully as soon as they were alone together, "clean and comfortable. To me, after my old attic, they are more -- they are luxurious. And the air is perfectly delightful."
