Will he avoid the legal problems created by his half-brother and the attempts to dishonor him? How will he cope with his brother’s thugs? How will he avoid the Excise patrols? Can he retrieve his inheritance? Is it possible for  the unconventional Edith to delay her arranged marriage? Has James’ luck finally run out?
