Book excerpt: 'My Lady Clancarty' is a romance novel set during the Victorian era, and tells the story of a relationship between the Earl of Clancarty and Lady Elizabeth "Betty" Spencer. Lady Betty Clancarty, the daughter of the Earl of Sunderland and the maiden wife of an Irish peer, is described as a woman with a slight pensiveness to her beauty, for she was beautiful; yet there were times when the gaiety of a vivacious spirit broke through all restraints, and she was the light-hearted, witty girl that nature had intended her to be. Her eyes—beautiful eyes they were, too,—were large, clear and sparkling with spirit, and the soft tints of her complexion and the glossy waves of her dark hair combined to make a charming picture, far more human and bewitching, indeed, than her own portrait from the brush of Lely, hanging in the great gallery at Althorpe. The pensiveness of her expression showed only when her face was in repose; when she smiled the sun shone through the cloud. Her figure was gracefully tall in its gown of white dimity flowered with pink, the neck dressed open with falls of lace, and the full sleeves loose and flowing at the elbow.
