Tales of two people by Anthony Hope

"Tales of Two People" by Anthony Hope is a collection of short stories published in 1907. These interconnected tales explore the romantic entanglements, social maneuverings, and moral dilemmas of English society's upper classes. From disputed property rights that spark unexpected courtships to impoverished princesses working as governesses, the stories weave through drawing rooms and country estates. Hope examines themes of class, fortune, and reputation as his characters navigate engagements, inheritances, and the delicate balance between duty and desire in Edwardian England.
