I found "Lord Fool to the Rescue" a strange story. It did not seem to have a foundation. The  characters are not well defined, although the H & H likable from what little you learn about them. I found it strange so many Dukes are mentioned, as I think it's well known there were very few to attain the title of "Duke". The last Duke mentioned in the "Dukes in the Peerage of England" is the Duke of Rutland (1703) - David Manners, 11th Duke of Rutland and "Dukes in the Peerage of Scotland" the last Duke mentioned was The Duke of Roxburghe (1707)Guy Innes-Ker, 10th Duke of Roxburghe. Although the century "Lord Fool to the Rescue" was depicted to be in is not stated, It had the feel of no later than the 1700s.Unless having so many Dukes was meant to be a joke, like when the Duke of Stromburg and the Duke of Farrington had their mock duel, but the subject matter of the story was not funny--the ruination of an innocent lady.But I liked how L.L. Muir served up justice to those deserving it, and the way it ended.
