Being of a modern frame of mind, she has the telegraph connected to the castle – and uses it all the time in the course of the story.<br/><br/>George Somerset is a young architect who is invited to compete for the chance of the commission to restore the castle and who falls in love with Paula.<br/><br/>However, the brother of Paula’s great friend Charlotte De Stancy – of the aristocratic family that once owned the castle – aided by his villainous illegitimate son, sets out to win Paula for himself.<br/><br/>Although Paula likes the idea of being a De Stancy, she is drawn to George from the start. The various machinations of De Stancy and his son keep the narrative moving along at a fast pace.<br/><br/>Summary by Simon Evers</span><div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
