Varleigh Medallion

When little Theodore Mallory inherited Garth House from an aged and distant relative, it seemed to his eldest sister, Dione, the answer to many problems. Against all advice, she persuaded her widowed mother to remove the family from the luxurious London home where they were living on the charity of rich relations and to set up house at their newly acquired property in the country.

But Garth House was not quite what Dione had expected. And though she possessed a happy facility for making the best of things, she would have found it difficult without the encouragement and advice of their neighbor, Sir Greydon Varleigh, with whom she struck up a prompt and satisfying friendship.

Sir Greydon, however, had problems of his own, not the least of which were a match-making grandmother and the missing Varleigh Medallion, a priceless heirloom.

What Sir Greydon wasn't prepared for was...Dione.
