"Prologue

Frobisher Manor, Kiddlington, Oxfordshire, 1864

A memoir by Prudence Wainwright

The following revelations are for my close family and friends only.

I am foremost a lady, or consider myself so, no matter how others will judge me. Writing a memoir was never something I thought of doing before. However, as my family and friends have demonstrated an earnest curiosity about my life, I have acquiesced.

Of course, I have had adventures, but some of them I never wanted to bring to mind again, let alone put to paper. People may judge my past deeds harshly. I did what I did in the time and the particular situations I found myself in-some of which were dire indeed."

 - The Prudential Light (Book 4, Cry Havoc) by Donna Maree Hanson
