Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the lives of the Meredith family, set deep within the heart of 18th century Britain. Noted for their benevolence, hospitality, and relatively modest lifestyle, the family is overseen by the patriarch, Sir Arthur, and his wife, Lady Meredith. Their brood consists of four children: Edmund, Catherine, Lewis, and Agnes. One day, Edmund receives news of his inheritance of a vast fortune and immediately sets off on a rescue mission to the West Indies to save his brother, Lewis, a Lieutenant in the navy. Along the way, he is joined by a Lord Claverton and Dr. Maclhean. When the trio finally arrive back in Britain, Lord Claverton, whose true character is hidden, is welcomed into the Meredith's home. A virtuous young woman named Ellen is also introduced into the family, and despite the reservations of many of the other family members, she becomes a favorite of the elderly Lord Castle Howell, a recluse and wealthy neighbor. As the story progresses, the hidden intentions of Lord Claverton are revealed, which sets off a chain of events that threatens to tear apart the close-knit Meredith family.
