AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Mock romance set in a Victorian country town in high summer. A butcher falls in love with a lady who scorns him and he becomes morose. He saves her from drowning but her highborn perfidious suitor takes the credit and is believed, leaving the butcher to find peace in his own sausage mincer. Broad humour, diverting in parts, often overdrawn. (PB)
