Book Description:
"Then take a word of advice—cut yourself adrift from Squire Kate's apron strings. When my father, John Verity, died, and left his girl alone in the world, you helped me out of debt and difficulty; but all the skill on earth can never squeeze more than bread and butter out of this dear broken-down old place. So go away where there's a world for you, a world to work in and a world to live in. Thank you for the past." - Summary by The Author Cast list: The Rev.
