Julian Rowne has been dead for many years when he shocks his brother-in-law by turning up in his bookroom,very much alive.
Returning to the country and and family he abandoned,his return is met by shock and anger by his wife Clarice,Lady Rowne.

I cant admire a "hero" who not only let his wife and children believe he was dead for four years none the less leaving his wife as she was heavily pregnant.Spy buisness or not that was horrible behavior.

"Did you by any chance know that Clare was breeding when you left?” he asked.
Yes.”
Yes,' " Peter mimicked. ”That's all? Just like that? 'Yes'?”
Julian said nothing.
Are you even interested in the outcome?”
I feel sure you'll tell me.”
It was a girl, called Julia. After you.” Peter threw up his hands in a gesture that might have been disgust or defeat and was in fact a little of both. "What do you mean to do now? See her?”
That depends, doesn't it? You still haven't told me if she has married again.”
p 13


Does it mean that you have suddenly become the ideal
husband who never even looks at another woman?” she asked
with a watery* laugh.

He answered her with a smile. "I doubt if I'm capable of
that much perfection.”
p 69


*what on Earth is a watery laugh? Fluid on the lungs?

To the rescue are two suitors, the handsome and dashing Viscount Revis, who offer her marriage, love and security, and the family friend, Sir Nigel, who promises her freedom and money if she will be his mistress in return.
