AbstractHistoryArchive Description
An Oxford man spends a summer with a famous author at his house in Somersetshire; meets the family of the local uncouth vicar; falls in love with his beautiful daughter and wins her from a handsome humbug clergyman over a series of summer picnics. The girl's younger brothers are a touch of lightness. An immediate marriage is made possible by a gift of 20 000 pounds from the author who had loved the girl's mother and lost her by delaying his proposal through poverty. (PB)
