AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Tale of English society romance, money and self-sacrifice. An American widow accepts a rich dissipated suitor instead of the penniless young man who loves her and is willing to be disinherited for her. Her apparent selfishness is self-sacrifice; irony very strong. (PB)
