Rupert Holliday era cresciuto in una casa divisa. Le fortune del colonnello Holliday furono notevolmente compromesse durante la guerra civile. Le sue proprietà furono incamerate; e al restauro ricevette la sua casa ancestrale, Windthorpe Chace, e una piccola porzione del dominio circostante, ma non era mai stato in grado di recuperare le proprietà periferiche dagli uomini che le avevano acquisite in sua assenza. Si era sposato in Francia, figlia di un esule come lui; ma prima che il 're tornasse a casa sua' sua moglie era morta, ed era tornato con un figlio, Herbert. Herbert, quando arrivò all’età adulta, aveva restaurato le fortune del Chace sposando la signora Dorothy Maynard, la figlia ed erede di un ricco birraio di Derby, che si era schierato dalla parte del parlamento e aveva prosperato notevolmente a spese del monarchico nobiltà del quartiere. Dopo il restauro lui, come molte altre teste rotonde che si erano arricchite con l’acquisizione di proprietà incamerate, si sentiva molto dubbioso se gli fosse permesso di mantenere il possesso, ed era abbastanza contento di assicurare la fortuna di sua figlia sposandola con l’erede di un importante realista. Il colonnello Holliday si era inizialmente opposto con forza alla partita, ma alla fine il probabile vantaggio per la fortuna della sua casa prevalse sul suo pregiudizio politico. La fortuna che Mistress Dorothy portò alla famiglia fu alla fine molto più piccola di quanto ci si aspettasse, poiché molti dei proprietari di tenute di cui il birraio tondo era diventato posseduto, sostenevano le loro pretese nei loro confronti. 3
