AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An heiress is wooed by a reluctant eldest son to win her wealth to his poor but noble family. Much of the duty falls on to his younger brother, and thrown together they fall in love. He leaves with his men to fight and die in the Crimean War, and in time she marries his brother "and paid off the mortgage upon Redhall." Well written with nice ironic edge; light. (PB)
