Love and intrigues aboard the Ajax amid high society
In a lengthy narrative set at Berkely Square, Richard Glyn, a naval midshipman, navigates love for Lady Arabella Stormont while rival Giles Vernon and Capt. Overton vie for her favor. The Ajax battles French ships in the Mediterranean, and Glyn pockets money before being recalled home. Back home, Lady Arabella’s gambling and social maneuvers unsettle Sir Peter Hawkshaw and Lady Hawkshaw, who clash over discipline in a volatile household. Daphne, Captain Hawkshaw’s ward, observes, and Sir Peter’s rigid regime ends in mutiny by the cook and others, culminating in his promotion to KCB after French victories.
