She and her new husband buy the house from Roy Lestrange, a Naval officer serving overseas and the nephew of Miss Lestrange, the house's previous owner. A joyful period of renovation and settling in begins, leavened by her dear friend (and now neighbour) Louise Armstrong's romantic troubles. But when Roy turns up in England and takes a liking to Louise, and Miss Lestrange's old bureau turns up a hidden will, the happiness and security of all will be threatened. Fletchers End, first published in 1962, is a sequel to D. E. Stevenson's Bel Lamington (1961), also published in paperback by Dean Street Press and Furrowed Middlebrow. This new edition includes an autobiographical sketch by the author.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A relief and a refreshment.\" New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e D.
