Description

Sir Thomas Randolph, once reckless, finds fortune restored through marriage to heiress Lucy Trevor, then must learn landowner duty, marital strain, and family expectation under the weight of past folly. Respectability arrives with a bill attached. Spoken as when Sir Tom still asks what a wild name owes once a new title sits on old mistakes.

Author

Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897) was a Scottish novelist who wrote as if the rent depended on it — because it often did. Widowed young, she supported a large household with novels, biographies, reviews, and stories of the seen and unseen, becoming one of the Victorian age's most tireless professionals. Domestic realism, historical fiction, and ghostly tales all came from the same steady pen.
