The Secret of Lady Mary's Life

She was paying annuities to the families of men who ended up still being alive. deposits had been made to bankers that never made it. Count polozzi offered to go get her money out of the bank, and then literally told her via note, sorry, i took all your money from the bank,. He disabled her carriage in the night so she couldn't leave a village. And he hired a highwayman to rob the carriage on their way out after they simply got a new wheel made. It's so bad. She was kind of trapped here at the end with this poor secretary, who i'ud be surprised if his hair didn't just fully turn gray.
