A Portrait of Love
Fedora's family is destitute, except for the magnificent painting collection which is their heritage. Her father is oblivious to their poverty, frequently restoring paintings for other nobles for free. A letter from the Earl of Haversham requests her father's services, as if he were a tradesman! Fedora arranges with the Earl to keep her father's pride intact while receiving the money they so desperately need. She becomes more attracted to the Earl, despite the hostility emanating from Lady Sheelah, one of his guests. But then Fedora discovers a secret in the Earl's house that must keep them apart - forever!
