Book Summary
The Earl of Dorincourt was a heartless and self-centered man. He had three sons, the first two of which were very disagreeable. The youngest, however, was named Cedric Errol, and he was the handsomest and kindest of the Earl's sons. He was only kept away from his home in England when he married an American woman and had a son, which his father didn't appreciate since he hated Americans. Cedric's son was named after him, and grew up much like him in looks and personality, so he was very lovable. The lack of communication between their family and the Earl meant that Cedric didn't know much about his nobility, though.
