Heirs of Marquito Sreekanth Agneeaswaran Marquito is a fictional village in Goa - a legacy of the Portuguese settler Afonso Marquito. The people of Marquito have never bothered to keep pace with time. As a result, in spite of certain cosmetic changes to the look of the village, the soul of Marquito is pretty much the same as Afonso had left it in the late sixteenth century. The series narrates the stories of the people of this village who like to be called the Heirs of Marquito. And these amazing stories of the ordinary people of Marquito, always leave you with something to chew on. Ralph the Heir by Anthony Trollope Loyal Books As usual, Trollope creates a nice variety of characters of different English classes, sentiments and positions. The primary themes are the inheritance of property, extravagance or reason in the spending of assets, the mating of young people, and the electoral practices of the time. The election chapters are based on Trollope's own experiences when he ran for Parliament.There are, of course, many subplots which allow Trollope to express, through dialog, his opinions about greed, snobbery, work ethics and dandyism. Trollope probably regretted the duplicative naming of his characters after a while; we have two Gregory Newtons, uncle (and present Squire of Newton) and one of his nephews. Then there are several Ralphs: the (deceased) father, Ralph his son (the heir), and Ralph (not the heir) the son of the uncle Gregory! As they appear, Trollope has to interject "not the heir", or "the other Ralph". Ralph the heir is an extravagant, easy living young man who has spent himself into deb The Princess Passes by Charles Norris Williamson Loyal Books An American heiress nicknamed the Manitou Princess (after her daddy’s richest silver mine) is devastated to find that her fiancé only loves her money, so she does what anyone might do: she bolts for Europe, dons male attire and sets out on a walking tour of the Alps, passing as a teenage boy. Though professing hatred of all men, she soon falls in with a just-jilted English lord, aptly named Monty Lane, who is attempting to walk off a broken heart of his own. The Princess Passes presents the ups and downs of their alpine relationship through the unpenetrating eyes of Lord Lane. Why, he wonders, is he thus drawn to this beautiful youth? And has the boy a sister? Co-author Alice Livingston, of Poughkeepsie, New York, mentions in her memoirs that she sailed for Europe after a boyfriend tried to shoot her. In London she met literary editor Charles Williamson and began writing for the story magazines of media mogul Lord Northcliffe. At one point she found herself scribbling six serials simul Cousin Henry by Anthony Trollope Loyal Books Indefer Jones struggles to name an heir to his estate.
