Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Gentleman in Waiting
The crash came before the honeymoon had begun to wane, and still as in a dream the happy pair were transported to the paternal mansion which was already in the hands of the sherifi. In a very matter-of-fact way Smith divided the ready money that was left to him and advised them to go back to the country to live quietly until he made another fortune. 0rd smiled grimly; he had smiled so often and for so long that it was impossible for him to do anything else. He looked at Bettina, who was still dazed by the suddenness of the awakening, and stopped pitying himself to pity her from the bottom of his heart. He had never been used to money; it would be easy for him to miss it. How would it affect one in whose life it was the Alpha and Omega?
