About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by Johannes Bosboom, Thomas Hill and John Collier. An elderly bachelor takes in his dead friend's daughter as a ward and then asks her to marry him, knowing what the answer ought to be. Trollope's last completed novel, written at sixty-seven, and one of the shortest things he ever published; nothing in it is settled by an inheritance or a duel, only by two people being honest slightly too late. Fifty-nine plates of portraits by Frances Hodgkins and William Orpen, among others, show the guarded faces and private rooms this late Victorian story of honesty kept too long turns on.
