1913. A romantic novel from the notable literary couple of Egerton
Castle and his wife, Agnes (Sweetman) Castle, who was a sister of
the novelist Francis Blundell. The story begins: The hottest
afternoon of the hot summer-so Lady Adelaide declared it to be. And
though she was assured of the presence of a breeze and confronted
with a thermometer, she maintained (on the authority of the Daily
Mail, just arrived) that, as it had been ninety-eight at Kew
yesterday, here, in South Devon, it must be well over a hundred;
especially as the forecasts announced a still increasing
temperature. She announced that, if they all chose to behave like
lunatics and seek sunstroke in the hayfields, she at least would
prove her sanity by lunching indoors and spending the afternoon in
the library-the coolest room in the house. See other titles by this
