To avoid court martial in England in Gaskell's North and South (1855), naval officer Frederick Hale takes refuge in Cadiz. He was part in a mutiny against a cruel British naval officer before the novel opens.  After staying briefly in South America, he moves to Cadiz, Spain and takes a job with a Mr. Barbour, a British merchant, and he falls in love with his Anglo-Spanish daughter, Dolores. Margaret writes to Frederick without Rev. Hale's knowledge to tell her brother their mother is dying; Frederick returns with great peril to his life. The family keeps his visit a secret, but complications at the time of his departure cause problems for Margaret. Later we learn that Frederick marries Dolores and converts to Catholocism to do so. Today, tourists flock to Cadiz for the beautiful beaches, history, and fabulous weather. (CG)
