- Synopsis
- At first it seemed a lovely adventure--to play the role of governess in a large and aristocratic mansion in the wild reaches of northern England. But that was before Arabel entered the ominous Ingledale Manor and before she met its enigmatic master, the widower Sir Luke. Arabel Murray, spirited and beautiful, was resolved to remain undaunted. After all, this masquerade was her only alternative to a drab existence under the thumb of a distant uncle. And so, when on a coach ride she met the devilish Miss Johnson, complaining about her new appointment as governess, Arabel jumped at the opportunity to exchange places. And yet, despite her determination to appear older and braver than her nineteen years and despite her intentions to allay the fears of her intimidated six-year- old charge, Arabel is thwarted at every turn. Not only does the handsome and austere Sir Luke seem to suspect Arabel's very authenticity, but he makes it most difficult for her to help his child and specifically restricts her from wandering freely throughout Ingledale, as if its many rooms held secrets. Indeed, it is in one of these rooms that Arabel is to learn of the true fate of Sir Luke's wife, and it is with this knowledge that she must face the consequences before her.
