***

Oaksley village had not seen such excitement since the Roundheads defeated the Royalists in 1645, and this was a great deal more fun. And profitable.

Not only were the plans for the pageant proceeding with dispatch, but a fine young buck, and an eligible parti to boot, was right in their midst. Luckily for mothers of marriageable daughters, this man of purported rank and fortune was now considered possessed of delightful eccentricities, rather than mad and bad habits.

No one knew exactly who had told what to whom, but by the time he had completed his ablutions and consumed a fine luncheon, Mr. Dalrymple’s broken heart, the probable size of his fortune, and exactly what connection he might claim to the blue-blooded Dalrymples of Northumberland was being discussed over all the luncheon tables in the village and surrounding estates.

Miss Radish even maintained that her parlor maid, who was walking out with the apothecary’s apprentice, had heard Constable Mackey address Mr. Dalrymple as “my lord,” but everyone knew how Barbara Radish gossiped and took her news with a sizable grain of salt.

A highwayman, an eligible parti, a squadron of dragoons, and swarms of tourists who couldn’t fork over their shillings fast enough? Why, they were all going to be nabobs!
