Stephen Norman is to inherit her father’s vast fortune and estate. She seeks to ask Leonard Everard (a wastrel) to marry her, but only to prove that she can ask a man to marry her and defy 19th-century convention which says a man can only ask a woman to marry. This sets into motion a showdown between two old rivals for her hand in marriage, as Harold An Wolf (a gentleman) is in love with her.

Robert Hugh Benson (1871 - 1914) was an English Anglican priest who left the Anglican church to became a Roman Catholic priest in 1904. He was a prolific writer (perhaps most famous for his fictional book Lord of the World), who also progressed through the hierarchy to become a Chamberlain to Pope Pius X in 1911. In this audiobook he recounts his life, focusing mostly on his decision to join the Roman Catholic church. It is a powerful story of the journey of a man who withstood the social pressures of his time to do what he thought was right.
