    Our Laodicean Paula Power, the daughter of a wealthy Victorian railway engineer, is the sole inheritor of the ancient De Stancy Castle. The castle requires much modernisation and repair so she sets about securing a young, up and coming architect, George Somerset, to undertake the project. Immediately captivated Somerset falls in love with our heroine but alas, he is not her only suitor.  Paula, “the modern flower in a mediaeval flower-pot” while attracted to him yearns for the dashing Captain De Stancy and the aristocratic background he represents. The novel “A Laodicean” was published in 1881. Like many Victorian novels it was first published in serial format.  Unlike many of his novels this story is set in the more contemporary setting with many advancements of this fast moving, technological period. As Thomas Hardy himself suggested that for the “large and happy section of the reading public which has not yet reached ripeness of years - "A Laodicean" may perhaps help to while away an idle afternoon.”

Fortified by blind courage and canteen rum, they decide to shame their regiment into returning to the battle. They march up and down across the front to the strains of "The British Grenadiers". The regiment turns back and advances on the enemy, this time successfully. The boys are killed, but the battle is won.
