The House of Vandekar
“Hugo resigned on grounds of ill health just before the House went into recess for the Christmas holiday. It was understood that he would be made a life peer in the New Year’s Honours List.

She wondered how he had managed to go into the court and lie to protect the family and his dead wife’s name with a coolness that was so untypical.MoreLess
