We meet Lord and Lady Clonbrony.

She was the second child of Richard Lovell Edgeworth (who eventually fathered 22 children by four wives) and Anna Maria Edgeworth ( née Elers); Maria was thus an aunt of Francis Ysidro Edgeworth .
Very much of its time, it is a heartwarming story. The Absentee centres around Lord and Lady Clonbrony, a couple more concerned with London society than their duties and responsibilities to those who live and work on their Irish estates.
