About this book
The book is given as "THE FIFTH WHEEL A NOVEL BY OLIVE HIGGINS PROUTY". The contents list, among others, chapters called "Ruth Vars Comes Out", "Breckenridge Sewall" and "Episode of a Small Dog". A narrator says that "when I saw Breckenridge Sewall sitting there before me and myself complete mistress of the situation, it appeared almost like a duty to play my cards as well as I knew how."
A character named Ruth asks in a low voice if she has been "living on Edith's charity, and yours, all these years". A narrator says Ruth's new enterprise required duties performed over and over again, homely tasks, no pay, no praise.
