is set in 1799, a turning point in the development of British social conscience which will ultimately lead to the Welfare State. The beautiful Lucy Travertine is the heiress daughter of a wealthy London banker who is determined that his grandson shall bear a noble title. She is delighted when a romance of the heart with handsome young Lord Greatjoy flourishes into a proposal, and she succeeds in persuading her father to accept her choice rather than consign her to a marriage of convenience with an elderly Duke. Little does she expect the complex of obstacles, some perilous and some comic, awaiting her at her vast castle on Dorset's south coast before she finds the perfect happiness she expects.Almost immediately upon their arrival, a detachment of marines arrives to impress 20 men into the Navy and Lucy is nearly embroiled in a riot. A separate military detachment and a Customs Officer arrives to investigate claims of brandy smuggling. A Scottish landscaper appears seeking approval of his plan to create major changes on the estate farm. Entirely inexperienced with such responsibilities, Lucy has the character to master every challenge in turn.
