April 1817. Our story begins in London, in the drawing room of the Leight family, at what appears to be a very cordial tea party. Almost the whole family is there, Mr and Mrs Leight, their eldest daughter Emma and her husband John Holland. The father of the family, the mother of the family, and one of the sons, Marcus, our hero, as you will soon see. Bonded by (secret) love, Harriet, our heroine, the second daughter of the Leight family, and the youngest Imogen and Anna. Nicholas and Elisabeth are not present. Where was I? Yes, Harriet Leight and Marcus Holland, remember their names if you wish to stay with them.
