The lot of a younger son was less assured than his older brother in days gone by. It was worse for his descendant, especially if he wanted to marry above his means. Such is the case for young Ralph Woodhall. He is a scholar, but is not attracted by the usual professions. He wishes to make his name -- and fortune -- and win the hand of his love, Margaret. On a whim, the couple visit an astrologer, who tells them that, although there are many trials ahead, happiness will eventually be theirs. With this in mind, Ralph sets out on his adventures. - Summary by LynneTCopyright Literary Fiction Genre
