Sir Harry wants the ancestral property to go to his daughter, Emily, and hopes that a future husband will adopt the family name.George is a charmer but also a spendthrift and a gambler. He sets out to win Emily in order to save himself from bankruptcy – and succeeds, despite Emily knowing he is really unworthy. She is convinced she can save him but has also promised she will not marry without her father’s consent – which of course Sir Harry refuses to give.The book follows their story.
