The story follows the life of Lady Rose, a beautiful and spirited young woman who falls in love with a man named Captain Warkworth. Despite the objections of her family, Lady Rose marries Warkworth and they have a daughter, who they name Rosamund.However, their happiness is short-lived as Warkworth is killed in battle, leaving Lady Rose to raise their daughter alone. Lady Rose's family disapproves of her decision to raise Rosamund without their help, and they try to force her to marry a wealthy but unappealing suitor named Lord Stonehenge.As the years pass, Rosamund grows into a strong-willed and independent young woman, much like her mother. She falls in love with a man named Arthur Kendal, but their relationship is threatened by the interference of Lord Stonehenge and the disapproval of Lady Rose's family.The novel explores themes of love, family, and societal expectations, and offers a glimpse into the lives of the upper classes in early 20th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
