Vacationing with Vincent at Castle Wyckhoff Links
A narrator and his eager friend Vincent, the lively younger son of a duke, flee London for six weeks of nature and golf. A stopped train leads to private links near Cappstone where they meet a striking young woman, the Honorable Agatha Wyckhoff, heiress to Castle Wyckhoff and its vast lands. The guard’s tale hints at a wealthy, elusive future romance and a will that keeps Agatha unattached as suitors press on, setting the stage for the next chapter.
