Rossmoyne

An old family feud between the Desmonds and the Beresfords prevents Monica and Brian from marrying. Kit, Monica's very young sister, full of dash and raillery, encourage them to hope, from the novels she reads. Fortunately, in the end the truth comes out, and Monica's aunts, the two spinsters Blake, finally give their blessing. As says the authoress, If any one laughs, it will prove he has never been in love, and so is an object of pity.
