Excerpt from The Squaw Man a Novel
To-night her face showed that anxious thoughts were crowding in on her as she apprehensively watch ed the big, carved oak door leading into the hall. Jim knew his aunt's firmness of character, and as silence followed his words, he feared further discus sion was useless; but the wistful faces of the children at tea-time in the nursery, as they coaxed him to plead for them to see the fun, made him venture a final appeal.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book invites readers into the opulent yet turbulent world of British aristocracy at the turn of the 20th century. It delves into the lives of two cousins, Jim and Henry Wynnegate, bound by family ties but separated by circumstance and character. Jim, raised in the shadow of his privileged cousin after his father's death, embodies integrity and selflessness, while Henry, heir to the Wynnegate earldom, is consumed by self-interest and recklessness. Their paths diverge further as Jim embarks on a military career in India, earning accolades for his bravery, while Henry indulges in a life of luxury and questionable decisions. Central to the narrative is Diana Marjoribanks, a young woman of remarkable beauty and spirit. As she navigates the complexities of love, duty, and societal expectations, she finds herself entangled with both cousins, leading to a captivating exploration of human relationships and the choices that shape our destinies.
