The tree beneath which he sat seemed not a day older! So young, the little leaves of brownish gold; so old, the whitey-grey-green of its thick rough trunk, A tree of memories, which would live on hundreds of years yet, unless some barbarian cut it down--would see old England out at the pace things were going!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Soames' daughter and Irene's son are in love. It looks like the sins of the past will spoil their romance. The most thrilling of the series, intruducing the reader to the next generation. Fleur is an absolute delight to read. She is everything a lead girl should be. Jon needs to grow a spine which will annoy readers. All in all this was an excellent well written book.
