AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Romance and robbery in an English town. The idle son of the life-long friend of a paralyzed timber mill owner robs the helpless man while his daughters are at church. He is recognised by a split finger-nail and loses not only his reputation but the love of the man's youngest daughter. Competent. (Some interest in character of eldest daughter, her father's 'right-hand man' in business.) (PB)
