Jane is reunited not only with her beloved maternal grandmother, but also with Sinclair, the dashingly handsome cousin she has loved for a long as she can remember. His proposal of marriage is offset by revelations Jane uncovers about his character. A late-night phone call, a missing book, and the problem of an aging caretaker help Jane see Sinclair in a different light. Meanwhile, there is David Stewart, the dependable family solicitor who is always there with his competence, his dependability, and his growing infatuation with Jane.
