"Black Jack Pollock inherited a fortune and married a beautiful, wild aristocrat.  Shrewd, tough and unscrupulous, he was the last man to take pity on the bedraggled waif who was crushed beneath his carriage wheels.  He took her home to Pellham Langley, his great house on the Yorkshire Moors.  He named her Lally Leeds and she became the cornerstone of his motherless family.  She was companion and friend to the lovely, wilful Margaret; she was the kindest support to the enchanting but handicapped Alice; and she was the greatest admirer of the beloved Jon - Black Jack's son and heir."
