Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Preferment, Vol. 1 of 3: Or, My Uncle the Earl
But though the Earl might storm, he was unable to disinherit. The rights conferred by that Charter of filial disobedience, a marriage settlement, were immutable; and in defiance of his patron's indignation, the old doctor, who could give nothing else to the young couple, bestowed upon them the nuptial benediction.
