Jeffery Farnol [1878–1952]
My Lady Caprice [1907]
Later issued as “Chronicles of the Imp”

An early romance by Jeffery Farnol, which is very light-hearted. A bloke enlists the aid of his beloved’s nephew, known as “the Imp.” It’s rather as though Richmal Crompton’s “Just William” had wandered into a romance.

An extract:
“Reginald,” she said, turning toward the Imp, who was still busy with his cap, “it’s nearly tea-time, and—why, whatever have you been doing to yourself?”
“For the last half hour,” I interposed, “we have been exchanging our opinions on the sex.”
“An’ talking ’bout worms,” added the Imp. “This man is fond of worms, too, Auntie Lisbeth—I like him.”
