Description
The daughter of a wealthy railway magnate, Paula Power inherits ancient Stancy Castle. She commissions George Somerset, a young architect, to undertake the work, but is then torn between George's admiration and that of Captain De Stancy, whose old-world romanticism contrasts with Somerset's forward-looking attitude.
