My Dear Duchess - one of my favorite chesneys

Characters: Miss Frederica Sayers, Henry Wright the Duke of Westerland, Miss Clarissa Sayers, The Honorable Jack Ferrand. Forced to stay in the schoolroom until her title hungry old stepsister is married, Miss Frederica Sayers can only watch the coming and going of visitors from the top of the stairs. Her step sister, Miss Clarissa Sayers, enjoys using her amazing beauty to manipulate men. Her latest conquest Mr. Henry Wright, tries to propose to her, only to be rejected for his lack of title. Taking his hurt pride home, Mr. Wright is shocked to find lawyers waiting for him, eager to inform him of his succession to the Title Duke of Westerland. However, as part of the will, Mr. Wight must marry to inherit the old Dukes fortune. Miss Frederica, knowing her sister to have turned down Mr. Wright, ran away to his house to offer herself as his mistress. Mr. Wright, needing a bride, proposes to Miss Frederica, who of course accepts. The new Duke and Duchess have an enemy in The Honorable Jack Ferrand, who was expecting to inherit the title instead. Mr. Ferrand forces Clarissa into helping him keep the marriage apart, to avoid any offspring, by blackmailing her. Mr. Ferrand forced Clarissa to undress at gunpoint, revealing a birthmark which would give credence to the rumor that she had laid with him. The new Duchess has an enemy of her own in the old Groom of Chamber, Lawton, who ran the country house during the old Dukes life. While in London, Mr. Ferrand makes many attempts to ruin Frederica's reputation in hopes that the Duke will divorce her. He even hires a French émigré to take her to an abandoned Inn. Frederica makes an incredible escape by using her hatpin to create a hole in the thatch roof. Mr. Ferrand almost succeeds in causing a divorce when he tricks Frederica into going to a common gambling hell. The Duke finds her there and banishes her to the country, to suffer at the hands of Lawton. Frederica, with the help of a small knife boy, play a number of practical jokes on the Lawtons. The Duke soon discovers that he and Frederica have been the victims of Mr. Ferrand and sets off to the country to rescue his wife and confess that he is now in love with her.
