This book uses a wide range of primary sources - legal, literary and demographic - to provide a radical reassessment of eighteenth-century marriage. It disproves the widespread assumption that couples married simply by exchanging consent, demonstrating that such exchanges were regarded merely as contracts to marry and that marriage in church was almost universal outside London. It shows how the Clandestine Marriages Act of 1753 was primarily intended to prevent clergymen operating out of London's Fleet prison from conducting marriages, and that it was successful in so doing. It also refutes the idea that the 1753 Act was harsh or strictly interpreted, illustrating the courts' pragmatic approach. Finally, it establishes that only a few non-Anglicans married according to their own rites before the Act; while afterwards most - save the exempted Quakers and Jews - similarly married in church. In short, eighteenth-century couples complied with whatever the law required for a valid marriage.

In the magical town of Broomstick there is the Hidden Quiddity Potion Shop owned by two sisters, Agnes and Harriet. Most of the time, Agnes and Harriet are well aware of unusual happenings in the magical world. Not this time. And to make things worse, Harriet didn’t know what her teenage daughter Kizee was up with a knotem boy by the name of George Düben until it was too late. No one knew of the map or the plan to find Zweig’s magic wand. Strangely enough, this had been the best kept secret in Broomstick. Agnes and Harriet were helping customers when the storm passed through Broomstick. Harriet didn’t have any idea what Kizee and George were really up to. Suddenly, Harriet fell to her knees. “Kizee, No!” Agnes felt the high power of magic vibrate through her. She saw her sister fall to her knees. “I felt it too,” said Agnes as she helped Harriet up.
