About A Regency Christmas III

MISTLETOE AND FOLLY (Sandra Heath) Sir Richard Curzon is engaged to young Isabella. During their engagement, Richard has begun to notice some unseemly things about his intended. Geoffrey Hawksworth also wants the lovely Isabella and he decides to do something about it. He concocts a plan to break Isabella from her intended. Geoffrey plans to be there with waiting arms. Richard happens upon his lost love Diana, who married another years before. Although Richard is hostile towards Diana when they meet, he cannot forget her. THE CHRISTMAS CUCKOO (Mary Jo Putney) Although this story is based upon coincidence, the story is good enough to overcome that writer's device. This is a charming story. Major John Howard is a bit drunk when Meg Lambert enters the inn and collects him to take him to her home. Meg's brother (Jeremy) asked her to collect his soldier-friend to spend the holidays with them. Jeremy was detained but would be along soon. Although having the same name as the intended visitor, the Major soon realizes that he is the wrong soldier. However, he is having such a splendid time, he has a hard time telling Meg about the error. Meg refuses to hear his confession'' -- thinking he is confessing to something else. However, everything is explained when Jeremy and Captain John Howard arrive. THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER ( Mary Balogh) Six year-old Anna has one wish for Christmas - a new Mama. Having watched her mother's die, Anna has not spoken or laughed for three years.
