"My Lady Peggy Goes to Town" by Frances Aymar Mathews is a story of a woman that reveals much about Great Britain's history and regency (1800-1837). Excerpt: "Kennaston Castle lies in Surrey. The Earl of Exham is master of the picturesque old pile and of the estate, and decidedly the slave of the very considerable number of debts which were up to His Lordship's ears when he came of age, some four and fifty years ago, and by this time have reached almost to the crown of his head. He is also father to his son and heir, Kennaston of Kennaston, and to the heir's tall twin, My Lady Peggy. My Lady Peggy at this particular moment sits a-swinging on the top branch of a plum tree at the foot of the kitchen garden whence she commands a tolerable view of the highway. "Impertinent sun!" cries Peggy? "
