But to her adored (and adoring) lord and master, there could be no dissembling of integrity, honor, or truth. One faced up to grim realizty -- unless one were Lady Helen.
And so began a romantic duel between two strong-willed people who, when the last Roman candle finally winked out, learned to compromise under the common denominator of love."

"It wasn't the lack of modern conveniences that made a summer spent at the ancient priory mansion such an unsettling experience. It was the ghost - or whatever was groaning in the cellars and roaming the countryside around Framley Village after dark. But traditionally ghosts don't commit murder. And in this case, the things that go bump in the night are flesh and blood - and deadly."
