Meriol Trevor: The Fortunate Marriage

Switching gears back to the regency, The Fortunate Marriage was published by Fawcett in 1976. Louisa ends up in the middle of a scandal when her cousin dies and the blame is cast on her cousin's handsome husband.

Allan Kass illustrates our couple in the process of dressing for the outdoors in the middle of a wintery day. Note the warm fire blazing and the snow covered trees outside the window. Lots of detail and I like the heroine's pretty purple gown.
