Hussar Honeymoon
In the fastnesses of the Empire was stationed an exclusive regiment of the Hussars known as “The Leopards”.
In the spring of 1900, two handsome young cadets presented themselves for commissions in the Leopards. Both Michael and Tibor were highly eligible; but alas, there was only one vacancy in the Mess.
Colonel Bela is at a loss as to who he should choose and is thoroughly distracted when the eligible Captain Count Sigismund von Scheffan reveals his affections for Bela’s daughter Judith. However quietly confident Judith is not as innocent as she seems and there are other potential suitors whom she has met at various dances...
When Sigismund learns that he has competition Colonel Bela suddenly falls ill, hospitalised by a strange condition which has sent him into a state of delirious confusion.
It was therefore decided to revive an ancient tradition — namely, that the single vacancy would be awarded to the winner of a personal tournament between the two, a tournament in which horsemanship, virility, and a capacity to carry wine were perfectly blended.
A race ensues but the planned course of events is frequently interrupted — two twin sisters demand to be met at the Zoological department of the National Museum, lovers decide to elope and the reputation of Sigismund is well and truly under threat...
Praise for the Jerrard Tickell
“Mr Tickell has a light touch and a delicate feeling for emotional relationships.” The Times Literary Supplement
“Mr Tickell is a kind of light John Buchan, and there is more room for more authors of his quality.” Daily Telegraph
Jerrard Tickell was an Irishman — educated at the Abbey, Tipperary, and at Highgate School. He was widely travelled, a linguist of distinction, and a lecturer in his spare time. He won a Book Society Choice with See How They Run, and his most famous novel is Appointment With Venus, which was published after the War. His novel Villa Mimosa, was a great success.
