Wenda has struggled alone to keep the family's crumbling ancestral
home, Creswell Court, going. Her brother, Robbie, now Lord
Creswell, is spending his time in London where he is a great
success in Society and with the Prince of Wales and the beautiful
ladies who surround him. The Prince has suffered from not being
allowed by Queen Victoria to take any part in ruling the country
and in compensation he goes from one attractive woman to another.
He especially enjoys secret weekend house parties at his friends'
country houses - usually a party of ten and each gentleman brings
with him a lady of his choice. To Robbie's consternation the Prince
of Wales suggests he should visit Creswell Court where he had heard
the pictures are outstanding. Robbie is horrified, but he cannot
refuse and so he rushes home to tell Wenda that the Prince is to be
their guest for a Royal house party. Wenda asks the obvious
question as to how they can afford it and to her alarm Robbie takes
down two valuable pictures, which are entailed, telling her he has
found an artist to copy them so cleverly that the Trustees will not
realise the originals are missing. Wenda manages to clean up the
house while Robbie unexpectedly meets a beautiful young woman who
says she is married. Robbie offers to help her and is instantly
attracted to her. How Wenda is rewarded for making the house
habitable and comfortable for the Prince of Wales and how he finds
the house party is even more amusing than he anticipated. And how
the secret weekend provides love in a very special and delightful
way for both Robbie and Wenda, is all told in this romantic tale by
BARBARA CARTLAND.
