A missing will causes havoc in a Welsh family.
From Wikipedia:
“Cousin Henry is a novel by Anthony Trollope in 1879. The story deals with the trouble arising from the indecision of a squire, Indefer Jones, in choosing an heir to his estate.
Of all Trollope's shorter novels, this one has been called one of his most experimental.
Indefer Jones is the squire of a large manor in Carmarthen, Wales. His failing health makes it necessary to select an heir to his property. Because of his great love for his niece, Isabel Brodrick, who has lived with him for years on the property, it would seem appropriate to bequeath the estate to her. However, according to his traditional beliefs, it is necessary to name a male heir, with the same last name, to become the next squire.”
