"My Lady of Cleeve" by Percy John Hartley is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of late 17th century England, the story follows Captain Adrian Cassilis, who is tasked with the clandestine arrest of the enigmatic Frenchman M. de Launay, believed to harbor secrets critical to the nation's political strife. The narrative blends elements of adventure, romance, and intrigue, particularly through the involvement of Lady Lettice Ingram, whose beauty and proud spirit captivate the protagonist. The opening of "My Lady of Cleeve" establishes an atmosphere of tension and anticipation as Cassilis and a group of troopers navigate the rugged terrain of Devonshire, intent on fulfilling their mission. The introduction of key characters unfolds gradually, highlighting Cassilis's internal conflict and disdain for a fellow officer, while also portraying the striking scenery, underscoring the desolation of their journey juxtaposed with the promise of approaching the esteemed Cleeve Manor. As the party makes its way toward their objective, discussions about Lady Lettice Ingram’s reputation reveal layers of societal intrigue, setting the stage for a dramatic encounter that intertwines duty, desire, and danger.
