Unruly hearts, daring social scenes, and vivid travel tales meet the wit of a sharp observer in this vintage collection.
A mix of spirited romance, social satire, and lively adventure unfolds across gentlemen’s dramas, crowd-filled streets, and distant fronts. The book invites readers to enter a world where propriety collides with impulse, and where a single choice can change a life.
In these pages, characters navigate love, class, and reputation with humor and pathos. Shared settings range from bustling cities to foreign shores, with quick shifts in mood—from lighthearted mischief to sober reflection—kept by brisk narration and keen observation.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a compelling tale, introduces an unlikely couple, Mildred Mulcaster and George Gosling, who find themselves engaged to be married. However, Mildredâs disdain for Georgeâs absurd name leads her to reject his proposal, prompting the scorned lover to vow that he will marry the first woman who will have him. Fate intervenes in the form of Esther Vann, a beautiful and humble nursery governess, who becomes the object of Georgeâs desperate and reckless proposal. The story delves into the complexities of love, pride, societal expectations, and the unpredictable nature of human relationships. The author skillfully uses the central conflict to explore themes of class distinction, the power of names, and the resilience of the human heart in the face of adversity. This book provides a poignant and thought-provoking examination of what it means to find true love and the sacrifices one is willing to make for it.
