An Eye for an Eye
Cavalry Lieutenant Fred Neville, heir to the earldom of Scroope, seduces lovely Kate O’Hara, who lives with her mother in a cottage in western Ireland. Fred is summoned back to Dorsetshire where the earl pressures Fred to promise that he will not marry Kate O’Hara despite any promises he has made to the girl.
Kate is carrying his baby, however, and Fred visits Kate on the same evening the old Earl dies. Fred inherits his title and does not feel Kate’s social standing would be to his benefit, so he confronts her on the cliffs above the cottage. Murder is in the air.
Cousin Henry
Indefer Jones is an elderly squire with a large manor, Llanfeare, in Carmarthen, Wales. His niece, Isabel Brodrick, has lived with him for years after the remarriage of her father but the is to be bequeathed to a male heir.
Nephew Henry Jones, a London clerk, is that heir and he has racked up debts in the past and is generally a scoundrel. Isobel refuses to marry Henry so that she too may inherit the estate and Indefer Jones eventually changes his will but dies before telling his heirs. The local newspaper soon accuses Henry of destroying the new will, and the pressure is soon to increase on the heir.
• About The Author
English author Anthony Trollope (/1815 –1882) was a respected Victorian-era author. He wrote novels on political, social, and gender issues, and on other current affairs. Among his fans are Sir Alec Guinness who reportedly never travelled without a Trollope novel.
The Chronicles of Barsetshire Series involve six novels set in the fictitious English county of Barsetshire (located near where Dorset lies) and its cathedral town of Barchester. The novels revolve around the clergy and the gentry, and the political, amatory, and social climbing.
Trollope is perhaps best known for his Barsetshire series, which is a collection of six novels (published in two volumes) and also available through Amazon:
Volume I The Warden (1855)
Barchester Towers (1857)
Doctor Thorne (1858)
Volume II
Framley Parsonage (1861)
The Small House at Allington (1864)
The Last Chronicle of Barset (1867)
