Harry Warrington, believing his twin brother George killed with Braddock in the French and Indian War, crosses from Virginia to England to visit his family’s ancestral home at Castlewood, where his relations, card tables and London society prove costly. When George reappears, the brothers’ fortunes divide, and the story carries them back to America and the Revolutionary War on opposite sides.
