1905. Hope was a barrister who gave up the law after the success of his novel The Prisoner of Zenda. The book begins: A man who has lived in the world, marking how every act, although in itself perhaps light and insignificant, may become the source of consequences that spread far and wide, and flow for years or centuries, could scarcely feel secure in reckoning that with the death of the Duke of Strelsau and the restoration of King Rudolf to liberty and his throne, there would end, for good and all, the troubles born of Black Michael's daring conspiracy. The stakes had been high, the struggle keen; the edge of passion had been sharpened, and the seeds of enmity sown. Yet Michael, having struck for the crown, had paid for the blow with his life: should there not then be an end? See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

The book begins: The house-a large, plain, white building with non architectural pretensions-stood on a high swell of the downs and looked across the valley in which Milldean village lay, and thence over rolling stretches of close turf, till the prospect ended in the gleam of waves and the silver-grey mist that lay over the sea.

Tom Courtland, raising himself from the grass and sitting up straight, gave utterance to what his surroundings declared to be a very natural exclamation: What a bore to leave this and go back to town!

Mi situación es desahogada; poseo una renta casi suficiente para mis gastos (porque sabido es que nadie considera la renta propia como del todo suficiente); gozo de una posición social envidiable: hermano de lord Burlesdón y cuñado de la encantadora Condesa, su esposa. ¿No te parece bastante? ¿Veintinueve años tienes, y no has hecho más que... ¿¿Pasar el tiempo? Es verdad. Pero en mi familia no necesitamos hacer otra cosa. Esta salida mía no dejó de producir en Rosa cierto disgustillo, porque todo el mundo sabe (y de aquí que no haya inconveniente en repetirlo) que por muy bonita y distinguida que ella sea, su familia no es con mucho de tan alta alcurnia como la de Raséndil.

A éstos se refirió la siguiente observación de Rosa, que dijo: ¿Las familias de alto linaje son, por regla general, peores que las otras.

The Prisoner of Zenda's sequel, Rupert of Hentzau, was written by Anthony Hope in 1895 but wasn't made into a novel until 1898. From December 1897 to June 1898, the book was serialized in The Pall Mall Magazine and McClure's Magazine. A supporting character from The Prisoner of Zenda's framing narrative provides the story's setting. According to the framing, the incidents described in both works happened in the late 1870s and early 1880s. Three years after Zenda's ending, this narrative picks up with the same imaginary nation-the kingdom of Ruritania-somewhere in Germanic Middle Europe. The majority of the same characters appear again and again: Rudolf Elphberg, the scheming absolute ruler of Ruritania; Rudolf Rassendyll, the Englishman who had served as his political stooge and was his distant cousin and doppelganger; Flavia, the princess, now queen; Rupert of Hentzau, the dashing well-born villain; Fritz von Tarlenheim, the obedient courtier; Colonel Sapt, Rassendyll receives a formal funeral and is buried as the King, but Sapt and Rassendyll's servant James set the King's body on fire at the hunting lodge, rendering it unrecognizable. As the final member of the Elphberg dynasty, Flavia continued to rule alone after Rudolf V's burial as Rudolf Rassendyll.
