| Summary | "A Poached Peerage" by Sir William Magnay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a rural English setting, focusing on the lives of various characters involved in intrigue and romantic pursuits surrounding the arrival of the new Lord Quorn. The central characters include Mercy Popkiss, a spirited young woman, and her suitor, Thomas Sparrow, who become entangled in a web of mistaken identity and clandestine dealings. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mercy Popkiss, who is preparing to leave the inn where she works to take a position at Staplewick Towers. Her interactions with Tom Sparrow hint at their romantic entanglement, while the arrival of a mysterious stranger sets the stage for further complications. The narrative quickly establishes an air of intrigue as the stranger, Percy Peckover, creates a connection with Mercy's life and ambitions. The scene is set for a dramatic intertwining of identities, with sparks of humor and tension, promising an engaging and whimsical tale of deception, love, and social aspirations.
