AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A Victorian farmer shoots the philandering married artist who woos his innocent, slow youngest daughter she visits her mother's grave and then transfers his attention to the elder beautiful self-absorbed daughter -inducing her to promise to run off with him. The father confeses but receives only six months' gaol; the elder daughter goes mad dying in Kew asylum and Mary sickens and dies - joining her mother. (PB)
