Items related to Frederica
Rich, handsome, darling of the ton, the hope of ambitious mothers and despair of his sisters, the Marquis of Alverstoke at seven-and-thirty sees no reason to put himself out for anyone. Until a distant connection, ignorant of his selfishness, applies to him for help. Plunged willy-nilly into one drama after another by the large and irrepressible Merroville family, Alverstoke is surprised to find himself far from bored. The lovely Caris may be as hen-witted as she is beautiful, but Jessamy is an interesting boy, Felix an engaging scramp. And, most intriguing of all their strong-minded sister Frederica seems more concerned with her family`s welfare than his own distunguished attentions. . .
