The Marquis of Milverton strides into White's Club in a high state
of irritation as he is being pestered by his family to take a
'suitable' girl for his wife. He is not surprised to find that his
aristocratic friends are suffering the same pressure and they
gather together to complain about their plight. They are all having
affaires-de-coeurs with seductive married ladies and the Marquis
himself is very much involved with a glamorous Countess. However
they all recognise that they will have to marry eventually to carry
on their ancestral titles and family legacy. Listening to their
grumbling is the Duke of Sandelford and he challenges them to go
out into the countryside in disguise and find a beautiful girl to
be their dream wife. If after three months, they failed they were
to admit failure and accept their family's suggestions. He also
offers a one thousand pounds prize to those who succeed. He left
them feeling it was at least a sporting chance and the Marquis was
the first to accept the Duke's challenge. Disguising himself as
John Milton he sets out alone on his horse and has a number of
unlikely adventures with people he would normally have never
encountered. He helps some of them to happiness, then becomes bored
and decides to return home, but will give one more village a last
chance. How the Marquis becomes involved with a ruthless gang of
horse thieves and then unexpectedly finds all he is seeking and can
claim the Duke's prize is told in this exciting and different tale
by BARBARA CARTLAND.
