Eve Halliday, daughter of a very clever but erratic writer who died some years ago; joyously impecunious, lives on a £150 annuity left her by her uncle Thomas. Very straight and slim, with a boyish suppleness of body. School friend of Phyllis Jackson, Cynthia McTodd, and Ada Clarkson in Leave It to Psmith, where she is hired to catalogue the Blandings library and courted by R. Psmith.
