Cecily
Cecily by Alida Leacroft
An impoverished Cecily is being brought by her great-aunt to Harrogate, a spa town, in hopes she will make a good match, in best Regency style. Meanwhile, Alfred, Lord Coleford, is trying to find out information about something the Navy is doing -- and goes to visit his mother in Harrogate.
They meet under the guidance of his sister, and Cecily mistakenly snubs him under the impression that he's someone her great-aunt told her not to dance with. The story goes on with wicked uncles, his realizing she doesn't know who he is, an inheritance, wills, dances, an old man who knows a great many things, discussions of Oxford, and more.
