Publisher Description
Lord Coombe is considered to be the best-dressed man in London. He is also a man whose public reputation, despite his formidable intellect and observant eye, is one of unmitigated wickedness. During one of his social forays, he meets a selfish young woman named 'Feather' with the face of an angel. Fascinated by her, he slowly drifts into her circle. When her husband dies unexpectedly, leaving her alone and desolate in London, he ends up taking her under his wing.

The Head of the House of Coombe
Most interesting. Entertaining enough, more for the glimpse it gives of a seemingly ancient age.(Though not really for it was but the time of my grandparents.) The style and pace of the story seems rather so labored and slow, yet this is fairly its charm and value.
Not knowing, I read the sequel "Robin" first. Now, I recommend reading the two as originally intended.
