However, this could be a mistake because in the meantime the Empress Elizabeth of Austria and her retinue arrive at nearby Easton Neston for the hunting season.Įlizabeth – or Sisi, as she is known to her friends – is the wife of Franz Joseph of Austria. Bay asks Charlotte to elope with him but she convinces him that it will be best to wait nine months until she comes into her inheritance. One of these women is Charlotte Baird, heiress to a fortune, whose brother is a friend of Bay’s from the army. Set in 1875, this is the story of two women and their love for the same man, Captain Bay Middleton, a cavalry officer and renowned horseman.
