AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A Scottish sister and brother arrive at their cousins' - a Victorian squatter's station - plotting to marry their rich uncle and his niece respectively. Their plans go astray when they find the niece is already in love with Kenneth Carr, expelled from Edinburgh University for a crime which the cousin actually committed. Attempted murder follows before all is resolved in this thin and unevenly paced tale. (PB)
