This book was the last one that Marryat was working on in his last days.
It is unusual for him in that the story concerned the life of a lady,
whereas he normally wrote about the rough-and-tumble of life aboard
ship. There is a preface which explains more about the way in which
this book was conceived and written. It was completed by someone whom I
think may well have been Marryat's wife.
There are some interesting episodes, particularly the way in which the
young Lionel is raised from being a junior servant to regain an estate
which is rightfully his.
