AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A man rescues a lady stabbed on the street and, visiting her during her recovery, falls in love with her. She refuses to marry him for three years but eventually does so. They have a child and happiness until the husband she thought dead appears. She leaves him but eventually he discovers her in a factory - and they are reunited when her first husband dies from becoming entangled in the factory machinery. Plot well worn but factory setting unusual. (PB)
