Jill by E. A. Dillwyn (published 1884) is an episodic adventure novel about a bold and audacious young lady, Gilbertina 'Jill' Trecastle, who runs away from home and makes her own way in the world as a lady's maid.

The most significant of these, Kitty Mervyn, exerts a strange fascination over Jill, who, selfish and self-reliant, prides herself on not caring for anyone—but finds that this resolve becomes difficult to maintain. Jill accompanies Kitty on her travels to the island of Corsica, where together they face more danger and adventure than they anticipated...
