Pretty Maddy Shillabeer had long resigned herself to the fact that her lot in life was to care for her widowed father and her hard-living, troublesome brothers. In any case, were she to marry she would have hardly any choice of suitors since the number of eligible men was limited. One in particular, Cal Whitcomb, a kinsman of hers, could never be considered, as his family, according to her father, had appropriated the rich Devon land that was rightfully theirs; instead of farming the Shillabeers had had to turn to salmon fishing on the River Dart, and they carried a grudge against the Whitcombs for it ever since. One day a new arrival appears at Duncannon – Patrick Howard, who finds employment as a pot-boy in an inn at nearby Stoke Gabriel. Soon he has supplanted the ancient Henry Beer as the village fiddler and leader of the church band. And, to the great consternation of her brothers, he has charmed his way into their Maddy’s heart…
