Hope was a barrister who gave up the law after realizing success with his novel The Prisoner of Zenda. The book begins: In the garden the question was settled without serious difference of opinion.

At any rate, the one indisputable fact was the impossibility of Mr. Medland; this was, to Lady Eynesford's mind, axiomatic, and, in the safe privacy of her family circle (for Miss Scaife counted as one of the family, and Captain Heseltine and Mr. Flemying did not count at all), she went so far as to declare that, let the Governor do as he would (in the inconceivable case of his being so foolish as to do anything of the kind, she, at least, would not receive Mr. Medland.
