More DescriptionBy request, "The Armitage Chronicles" is a deeper look at the romances seen in the background in 'Jane and the Sins of Society' as well as a visit to Agnes Fanshawe, an old school friend of Jane's, who is also mentioned in that book. This book is a collection of three novellas, covering their stories.Laura Finds LoveLaura Evans struggles to handle the spite of a prettier girl who makes fun of her appearance and pokes fun at Laura's other friends. Laura feels her looks would never attract someone like Gerard, Marquess of Falkrington, known to be a heart-breaker, and quickly bored by any female. However, Gerard is about to learn that he is more interested in how much personality a girl has, rather than her superficial looks. The Governess's New JobIt is one of the clichés of romance, that the noble lord marries his governess. However, the novels generally have the courtship before marriage, and do not involve a proposal to save the noble lord's life by being with child as soon as possible to deter his assassination. Her whirlwind wedding to Michael Strode, Duke Braxtrode, is encouraged by his three daughters, but the family still faces danger. Nessie Fanshawe and the Dastardly DoctorAgnes 'Nessie' Fanshawe is less of a poor little dab of a woman than she was when first encountered in 'Jane and the Opera Dancer', and is chaperoning her connexion, Emma Kemp, in Bath. However, she cannot stand by when she has some worrying suspicions about a doctor of whom she hears, and turns to her distant cousin, 'Beau' Popham for advice.
