The arrival of Mr. John Harris, the new owner of Pinnacles House, was greeted with much interest by the inhabitants of Woodham. Why should a man who was so handsome, so agreeable and so nobly heroic a man who had lived Abroad dream of settling down in the English countryside? It all seemed very mysterious...
Miss Lucinda Calvert longed to ask him many questions, but courtesy forbade her. And by no means could she ask him the most important question of all for how could a lady ask a man if he loved her?
