AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Cynical tale of two law clerks and the plan hatched between them to persuade a governess to a false marriage; of a similar plan hatched with the governess and the father of one of the clerks; and the denoument which leaves them both deceived. All parties to the story (apart from wealthy Anna Swift and her father who both clerks seek for her fortune) are unappealing. (PB)
