Sir Marmaduke Vane-Temperly, a man of the world who is weary of the world, goes forth to seek his vanished youth. He's cynical, pompous and ever the gentleman as befits his position. Of the many adventures that befall him, a mysterious murder is but one. He also meets Eve-Anne, a gentle, innocent 19 year old girl who on a quest for adventure and who knows him as 'John Hobbes', a gambler who cannot understand Eve-Anne's depth of generosity and feeling for those worse off than herself and her endless willingness to help them. Set in the Regency, when bucks and dandies thought it quite the adventure to meet the bruisers, vagabonds and footpads that abounded in an England that had a sharp divide between the rich and poor, the privileged and the commoners.
