Sir Derek, exasperated by her independence, still made certain that both girls entered the highest circles of English society in the city. Soon they were surrounded by suitors, but on the eve of Waterloo the girls found themselves confronting unexpected danger and there was only one person they could turn to - Sir Derek...
