AbstractHistoryArchive Description
English country romance of fallen gentleman redeemed from poverty and disrepute by love of a fair English maiden. Driven to secrecy by the determination of his uncle to prosecute him for borrowing money from his safe to pay a gambling debt, John Roberts is saved by a job as a gardener then as a farmer on a small town doctor's land. He falls in love with the doctor's daughter and his character is reformed by her goodness. Her visit to his home town - and the portrait of his shallow former fiancee, together with a jealous cousin and curate's curiosity and the loyalty of an old Cambridge friend flesh out the story. (PB)
