the marquis's memory

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK2SLMMM ↗️ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FK2SLMMM ↗️ Geoffrey Calver’s mother has gone too far when she arranges a betrothal for her son, even giving the girl of her choice a ring. Geoffrey lets all parties know that this is unacceptable, and drives off in a temper. Perhaps it was inevitable that he should have an accident; but his sense of humour urges him to play along with the fear that he has lost his memory, and he enjoys rusticating in rural Suffolk with some colourful local characters when the late vicar’s sister and daughter rescue him from his predicament. Geoffrey takes on a personal servant named Pip, whose siring by what passes as the local squire is an open secret, and Geoffrey feels that Pip should, perhaps, be his ward, as the squire is a connection of his, albeit distantly. A village show and a regatta provide Geoffrey with entertainment, as well as romance from an unlooked-for source.
