I have read a few books from Miller and after reading this one it will be my last. This book wasn't as clean as I personally would have liked.
The young Mr. Fox gambles way his estates, inheritance and his sister's dowry to a lord. His friend follows him in the county's and falls for Miss Fox.
Warning: I may something that may spoil the book for some. There are no explicit scenes but there Mr. Flecther gets aroused and even tries to explain his excitment to Miss Fox. He also finds himself naked in one scene. Hmmm I'm not sure if many families would want to force their daughter to be comprised in such a way.
