"You are deceiving me," she cried; "I know that my child is dead. Tell me the truth; my child is dead!" "No such, thing, Margaret," cried Mr. Luttrell, almost angrily; "how can you utter such folly?" But his remonstrance passed unheeded. Mrs. Luttrell had, sunk insensible to the floor; and her swoon was followed by a long and serious relapse, during which it seemed very unlikely that she would ever awake again to consciousness. The crisis approached. She passed it safely and recovered. Then came the tug of war. The little Brian was brought back to the house, with Vincenza as his nurse; but Mrs. Luttrell refused to see him. Doctors declared her dislike of the child to be a form of mania; her husband certainly believed it to be so. But the one fact remained. She would not acknowledge the child to be her own, and she would not consent to its being brought up as Edward Luttrell's son. Nothing would convince her that her own baby still lived, or that this child was not the offspring of the Vasari household. Mr. Luttrell expostulated. Vincenza protested and shed floods of tears, the doctor, the monks, the English nurse were all employed by turn, in the endeavour to soften her heart; but every effort was useless. Mrs. Luttrell declared that the baby which Vincenza had brought her was not her child, and that she should live and die in this conviction. Was she mad? Or was some wonderful instinct of mother's love at the bottom of this obstinate adherence to her opinion?

If you believe in Divine Providence, this is an interesting read. All of Adeline Sargeant's works are inundated with this concept, and if you have an issue with it, you will feel the story so contrived that it would be frustrating. I have read many of her works, as I enjoy her characters and the historical information her novels provide. Some of her characters are somewhat one dimensional, but others are very well developed and complex. Under False Pretences was a good read. Her novel a "Life Sentence" is even better.Product details

Under False Pretences Adeline Sergeant 9781492806097 Books Reviews
I found this to be pretty wordy, it took a long time to get into, once I did get into it there was little substance to read.
The book is very intricate in the development of the characters. The plots for each is vert divergent,bun in the end there is a very satisfying solution for each. The book was very riveting.
