The Earl of Heversham seemed to fill the whole room, the sky, and the world itself, and she knew as she saw his eyes that he looked younger and happier then and completely different from the man she had left behind.
Neither of them could speak, they just stood looking at each other. Then the Earl opened his arms and with a little cry that seemed to echo round the room Fedora ran towards him.
He held her close against him and she could feel his heart beating frantically against her breast.
Then he turned her face up to his and down at her before his lips were on hers.
He kissed her until the whole room swung round them, and they no longer had their feet on the ground but were flying towards the Heaven they had sought before and lost.

Fedora's family is destitute, except for the magnificent painting collection which is their heritage. Her father is oblivious to their poverty, frequently restoring paintings for other nobles for free. A letter from the Earl of Haversham requests her father's services, as if he were a tradesman!
Fedora arranges with the Earl to keep her father's pride intact while receiving the money they so desperately need. She becomes more attracted to the Earl, despite the hostility emanating from Lady Sheelah, one of his guests. But then Fedora discovers a secret in the Earl's house that must keep them apart - forever!
