"Rachel the mysterious. She sometimes seems like a gold-digger, a spendthrift who will go through Phillip's money and break his heart. Or is she just misunderstood, a European whose mode of life is so foreign to the English that they think the worst.

Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
