The Last of the Mortimers
Authorship not stated
You are Milly Mortimer, sister to ailing Sarah, watching the family solicitor Mr Cresswell open a search for an heir before the Mortimer line ends with the two of you. Sarah supplies a name, a distant cousin called Richard Arkwright, then admits by firelight that she once loved him and was kept from marrying him forty years ago, though what happened between them afterward she will not say. The advertisement goes out regardless, and by the next afternoon, Mr Cresswell's own daughter Sara arrives at the Park.
