Plot summary
Gambling losses drive Sir Giles Staverley into a last wager. His old rival Lord Harry Wrotham, who has already taken his home, offers to put all of it back on the table if Staverley stakes his daughter Serena's hand and the dowry of 80,000 guineas settled on her. Staverley agrees over his nephew Nicholas's pleas and loses. Lord Justin Vulcan, a gambler known for his cool head, contests Wrotham's claim and takes the house and Serena instead. Serena refuses Nicholas's offer of marriage, unwilling to stand between him and Isabel Gillingham, and says the Staverleys pay what they owe. Justin, who had put off visiting the estate, brings her to Mandrake, his home beside the sea. His mother, Lady Harriet Vulcan, opposes the match and runs an illegal gaming house there.
