10164 British History The City HeiressWriting under a pseudonym, Elizabeth Moresby (1862 1931) writes entertaining historical fiction, delightfully combining fact and fantasy. Each tale based on a lady, including the wife of Pepys, Mrs Walpole, Fanny Burney, and others. Concludes with her one tale based on wholly fictional characters for "a heroine of Jane Austen's is as real as Stella or the fair Walpole." Thus we have "The Darcys of Rosings" bringing together favorite Austen characters
