About this book
A seamstress's place in a wealthy household puts Mona's private engagement under pressure in this 1891 romance. Known to Mrs. Montague as Ruth, she faces a rebuke for accepting Raymond Palmer's attentions, although she is already promised to him. The opening pairs this domestic conflict with a private court hearing in New York over diamond crescents, bringing questions of appearances and evidence into the story.
Mrs. Georgie Sheldon's sequel to Mona links courtship with the search for a family history. Louis Hamblin claims to hold a marriage certificate and other proofs concerning Mona's parents, but makes their surrender conditional on her accepting his proposal. Mona's response challenges his attempt to turn affection into a bargain. Readers interested in nineteenth-century popular romance will find sharply argued conversations about social position, loyalty and the right to possess evidence of one's own past.
