MR SCARBOROUGH, wealthy owner of Tretton Park in Staffordshire, is dying. His eldest son and heir Mountjoy has gambled away his inheritance to avaricious money-lenders who hold post-obits to the entire value of the estate.Then Mr. Scarborough declares Mountjoy illegitimate. He claims that he only married his wife shortly before the birth of his second son Augustus, thus making him the real heir. Is this the truth ? - or a ploy to save the estate falling into the hands of some rather shady money lenders ? ....... (Summary by Annise) (21 hr 51 min)

Storyline and plots are captivating. Anthony Trollope is insightful, very intelligent, with a heart of good values. The readers were mostly very good. Thank you


(3 stars)

very long and tedious. More exciting if it was shorter. I do like most of his other novels
