The man had a surprise for her and their daughter Beth: thanks to some old rules, the barony of Kelham can be passed on to a female, so Beth is named by the man’s will as the heir, much to the disgust of the evil cousin stereotype that every story like this needs to have. Alright then – Lord Romayne decides to go to town.Īt the other part of town (well, not literally), our heroine Jessie Kelham’s older and kindly husband has passed on. He wishes that he can still be a doctor for all, and he comes to a pretty good solution after conferring with his buddies: if he can find a sensible wife who supports his “eccentric” desire to be the new patron saint for the diseased and downtrodden, she can manage the household and such, leaving him free to poke people with syringes and what not. All the heirs of now dead Lord Romayne were at the party, so Daniel finds himself the new Lord Romayne. His life recently took an unexpected turn when his parents attended the party of a very distant titled uncle, and they, along with other guests and the host as well, all perished from some kind of disease outbreak. He’s also a vicar, although he prefers to heal rather than to baptize and marry the members of the flock. He throws himself into his work, never caring for good times with women, wine, and song. Unlike his fellow Lost Lords, Daniel Herbert is a doctor who runs a free infirmary in Bristol.
