Hugh Sinclair

Ashore on half-pay, and awaiting a new commission, Cpt. Sinclair is the guest of Miss Fernside's cousin, Ludlow. Since his arrival, his name has been on the lips of every gossip in town, rivaling even Miss Fernside's as a favorite topic of discussion. But with the Captian's easy charm and playful smile, he has never had a problem ingratiating himself into any society he finds himself in. And Davenbury seems to be no exception.
