AbstractHistoryArchive Description
English romance. Theodore Payne inherits £1200 a year from his uncle Aikin on condition that he change his name to Aikin-Payne, or the money goes to Aikin's wife's relatives. Reluctantly Payne agrees and hurries to Cannes to let the comments die down in his London clubs. There he meets Ruby Estcourt who only agrees to marry him on condition he change his name and thus give up his legacy. He agrees only to discover she is entitled to the money as next-of-kin - and she promptly settles it on him without the burden of the name. (PB)
