Synopsis

Her family viewed her good luck with decidedly jaundiced eyes. Letty Damerel had always been brought up as the poor relation, and had never been allowed to forget her place. Now, her great-aunt Jane suddenly invited her to visit Faringdene, the great Gloucestershire mansion, and to Letty s - and everybody else s astonishment - her aunt made it plain that it was to Letty that she intended to leave her estate and her fortune. Letty was surrounded by those who felt they had a better claim to the fortune, and one of her cousins even went so far as to abduct Letty, meaning to take her to Gretna Green in order to get his hands on the money. How Letty escapes from this predicament, and in the end finds true love, though with quite a different person from the one she had imagined, brings this light-hearted romp to a very satisfactory conclusion.
