    About this ebook

    Sydney Lattimore was sure her beautiful sister could capture the interest of a wealthy parti if they could finance their way to London with their grandfather’s half-pay and Sydney’s clever management. Viscount Mainwaring could scarcely believe the courage this little copper-haired sprite showed—and the outrageousness of her schemes. But he knew he had to keep her out of trouble.

      Feb 1, 2023

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather
