My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bath, England.‭ ‬Mrs‭ ‬King‭ ‬keeps‭ ‬Dr‭ ‬Frederick‭ '‬Fritz‭' ‬Norman‭ ‬on‭ ‬retainer.‭ ‬But‭ ‬he‭ ‬has‭ ‬become‭ ‬increasingly‭ ‬reluctant‭ ‬of‭ ‬his‭ ‬weekly‭ ‬visits.‭ ‬Only‭ ‬because‭ ‬of‭ ‬her,‭ ‬the‭ ‬niece,‭ ‬Annabelle‭ ‬Chapman.‭ ‬How‭ ‬he‭ ‬has‭ ‬longed‭ ‬for‭ ‬her‭ ‬these‭ ‬past‭ ‬six‭ ‬years.‭ For ‬six‭ ‬years‭ ‬ago‭ ‬his‭ ‬suit‭ ‬was‭ ‬rejected‭ ‬by‭ ‬her‭ ‬father‭ ‬as‭ ‬he‭ ‬had‭ ‬no‭ ‬standing‭ ‬and‭ ‬was‭ ‬poor.
Friend‭ ‬Mrs‭ ‬Grace‭ ‬Blakesley‭ ‬is‭ ‬determined‭ ‬to‭ ‬find‭ ‬a‭ ‬wife‭ ‬for‭ ‬him.‭ ‬It‭ ‬would‭ ‬also‭ ‬seem‭ ‬that‭ ‬some‭ ‬of‭ ‬his‭ ‬patients‭ ‬intend‭ ‬for‭ ‬him‭ ‬to‭ ‬meet‭ ‬young‭ ‬relations‭ ‬with‭ ‬marriage‭ ‬in‭ ‬mind.‭ ‬What‭ ‬can‭ ‬Annabelle‭ ‬do‭?
Can‭ ‬either‭ ‬of‭ ‬them‭ ‬have‭ ‬a‭ ‬happy‭ ‬ending.
A‭ ‬delightful‭ ‬and‭ ‬well-written‭ ‬romance‭ ‬novella.
