title: Elegance and Simplicity
author: Munro, Ronald G.
description: ...there is yet a depth of fortitude wherein the spirit may rally, wherein a comfort may be found in the intangibles that enfold it, and if they be bound in love, it is a formidable comfort. Miss Ariana Atwood, of uncommon sensibility but unexceptional station, and Mr. Cedric Stacey, of exceptional station but, alas, uncommon pride, are destined to explore the depth of that comfort as they become admirable foes—but foes who discover within themselves an ardent wish to be admired, each by the other. Between them stand an imposing superstition, a multitude of mysteries, and one insidious betrayal.  To divest themselves of those obstacles, as well as the prevailing class prejudice, they must discover the radiant simplicity of virtue through which love may unreservedly engage their hearts. Join Miss Atwood and Mr. Stacey in this captivating, Jane Austen-inspired tale in which they strive to surmount persistent hindrances of self and society, a quest to find the intrinsic grandeur of life's true Elegance and Simplicity.
