Baroness Emmuska Orczy 
A Son of the People 

Kemény András has everything. He is tall and handsome, has a vast inheritance left to him by his father, and holds the respect and admiration of the entire village. There is nothing he does not have; except for one thing. The heart of Ilonka, the beautiful daughter of the noble Lord Bideskúty. But András is a peasant, and this humble station makes him unworthy for the consideration of such a match. He is even below notice; that is, until one eventful, disaster night.
