Appearing in the Lady’s Monthly Museum (1803, Volume 11), this letter from a young gentleman to his sister is everything a letter from a big brother should be. Filled with caution, care, and foreboding warnings of danger! ruination! and all the delights of Town, its a wonderful example of not only the thoughts and feelings of gently reared siblings (including affection), but also gives us a peak into the culture of Town.
Murder, mayhem, and mystery
To protect her destitute sister and niece, Roslyn Clary must appeal to the new lord of the manor, Mark St. John. A temporary role if her sister delivers a boy child to assume the title. Roslyn is suspicious of Mark's generosity, and vows never to fall in love with him no matter how heroic he seems.
Reeling with attraction for Roslyn, Mark moves all of them to his mother's house in London. He desperately wants to court Roslyn, but first must determine if the St. John family is in danger since it appears his brother was murdered. There's a long list of likely suspects, and it seems Mark has put not only himself in the queue of potential victims but Roslyn as well.
