    An Irish Estate in Troubled Times

    by Charles Lever ...
    A crumbling estate in the Irish midlands, a landlord with no rents, a Greek cousin and a Fenian rising gathering in the fields.

    The Guardsman

    An Irish House and Its Doubtful Fortune

    by Charles Lever ...
    An Anglo-Irish family with a great house, a doubtful title to it, and children who each want a different future.
