Around the Rugged Rock // When Gentlemen Go by // The Gentlemen Go by — Elizabeth Cadell

After a short but happy marriage, Lorna Salvador and Roderick Saracen quarrelled, and separated, and Lorna, all too hastily, left her husband and two sons and fled to Spain to start a new life in the beautiful Andalusian estate, Casa de Nuestra Señora del Carmen.

Lorna is a person people come to when in trouble, and one day her son Nicholas, now a handsome Naval Officer, appears at the beautiful Casa de Nuestra Senora del Carmen to ask her for advice regarding a lovely Spanish girl whose father is a friend of Lorna's... and also a well-known smuggler.

Her younger son, Martin, now appears, also in need of help and advice, and Lorna - happily reunited with her son - enjoys catching up on many lost years of happiness.

Until one day Roderick comes searching for his sons, and for the first time in 20 years the family is complete... and together... and Lorna's peaceful life is turned upside-down.
