Miss Eleanor Needwood was about to be married to a most unsuitable suitor when Philip Markham came to her rescue. He arranged for Eleanor to be in London for the Season, a guest of Markham's sister, who decided that everyone, including herself, would benefit if Markham married Eleanor. And thus the rumor started.The surprised couple decided to play along with the mistaken impression until a scandal-free way to end the betrothal could be found. But when Eleanor agreed to pose for one of the town's most daring artists, the result was far more scandalous than any broken engagement. Markham, a dedicated bachelor, found himself not only competing with an army of suitors to save Eleanor's reputation--but determined to win her heart as well. Book

The Reverend Henry Harding, parson to the excellent living of Stoke Abbas, was a handsome and prepossessing man. Unfortunately fate had seen fit to bless him with a family of extremely plain and unprepossessing children. Caroline was the least offensively plain according to Lady Lennox, but the entire Lennox family also admitted that Caroline was the most insignificant person in the county of Dorset. Caroline, already twenty-six, was bullied by her elder sister, was nervous in company, and had no prospects at all. She had one golden memory, of an admirer when she was eighteen, but John Gates, nephew to the Lennox family, had gone to India and forgotten her. Or so she thought. When Lady Lennox summoned her and said that Johnny Gates had sent a proposal of marriage, Caroline at first declined. She suspected that somehow Lady Lennox--for reasons of her own--had contrived and pressured her erswhile suitor into proposing. But within a few short weeks tragedy had overtaken Caroline. The little contentment and security she had known vanished from her life and left her no option but to accept Lady Lennox's offer. In October of 1776, Caroline Harding set sail for India, to a new life, and a man she had not seen for eight years Book

Desperate to support her widowed mother, Marina Beaumont had agreed to become a companion to a dowager countess and found herself in an impossible situation. She had never anticipated the position would force her to deal with Kit Stratton -- a renowned rake who would stop at nothing to get the revenge he sought...even if it cost Marina all that she held most dear. For unable to restrain the dowager's gambling habit, Marina soon found herself paying the price for Kit's sweet revenge on the widow. And the only way this rake would agree to her request to forfeit the money he was owed was if Marina gave him the reward he most desired.... Book

26439Petition dated from London February 1833. Despite a recent book by Miles Macnair supporting Serre's claims the case for her imposture is overwhelming as her entry in the Oxford DNB demonstrates. See also the various reports of the matter for example Ryves v. Duke of Wellington Law Times 31 October 1846. 23pp. foolscap 8vo. On six loose bifoliums of laid paper with 1833 Britannia watermark of Gilling & Alllford. Good on lightly aged and worn paper. Folded into the customary packet and docketed on reverse of last leaf 'Copy Letter to the King from the Princess Olive'. Note that this is not how such a document would have been described had the recipient been a royal representative. Clearly a draft with a number of lacunae and a few emendations in another hand in pencil. The document and its ‘signature’ do not appear to be in Serres’ autograph: they do not resemble other examples consulted for example the manuscript offered for sale at Sotheby’s in London in July 2009. The few pencil annotations are in another hand and although more like are still not likely to be in her hand. Written in the year before Serres' death and apparently unpublished. The first page is headed 'A letter to the Kings Most Excellent Majesty' and begins; 'Sire The high opinion I wish to Cherish that your Majesty when truth claims your attention will do no wrong induces this public appeal to your justice for the consideration and redress of my unprecedented wrongs which I have from Year to yr patiently & degradingly submitted to rather than lay open to the English Nation the true Cause of the desertion and neglect of my late Royal Parents Relatives'. The document ends with the petition pp.21-23 headed: 'To the Kings Most Excellent Majesty The dutiful and humble petition of Olive Princess of Cumberland - London Feby 1833.' It begins: 'Sheweth That your Petr altho she is the legitimate Daughter & Sole Heir of his late Royal Highness Henry Frederick Duke off Cumberland by her Royal Highness Olive his first and lawful Wife is disposed of all her Birthrights except her rank & name of her late Royal Parents'. The petition claims that she 'lawfully proved in the prerogative Court in the month of June 1822' a 'Bequest of his late Majesty George. the 3rd of £15000'. Petition dated from London, February 1833. unknown
