About This Book

A young gentleman's sudden loss of fortune and the consequences that follow drive this volume: deprived of his inheritance by a rival relative, he confronts creditors and officious agents, leans on faithful servants and skeptical acquaintances, and contemplates legal and overseas options. The narrative shifts between sharp social scenes among fashionable clubs in the capital and quieter episodes at a well-kept manor in Maryland, where domestic routines and memories provide solace. Themes of honor, pride, loyalty, and the fragile rules of reputation thread through episodes of debt, rivalry, and changing alliances.
