However, within a month, Lulu is back home, having discovered that Ninian was already legally married: 18 years prior he had wed a girl who left him after 2 years, but he had forgotten about it. On learning this, Ninian and Lulu decide they like the idea of being married, and choose to remain together. While joking around one evening they find themselves accidentally married, due to the laws of the state requiring little more than wedding vows to be recited while a magistrate is in the room for a marriage to count as legal. When her brother-in-law's brother, Ninian, comes to visit, there is a certain attraction between them. She does not complain about her position, but is not happy. The story concerns a woman, Lulu, who lives with her sister's family, essentially acting as a servant. It was a bestseller at the time of its initial publication, but gradually fell out of favor through changing tastes and social conditions. Miss Lulu Bett is a 1920 novel by American writer Zona Gale, later adapted for the stage.
