AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The arrival of Madge, a beautiful orphaned cousin wins the love of Lucy Trevor's fiancée Lewis Fayne from his betrothed. They acknowledge their love but refuse to break Lucy's heart, so he goes to Lisbon until he can control his affections, and Madge pales and dies a year or so after the wedding. Tale of self-sacrifice; insubstantial but graceful. (PB)
