About this book
Lawrence Mannering has found peace beside the North Sea, where marshes, sandhills and birdsong offer relief from public life. His old friend Leslie Borrowdean arrives from London with a different purpose: a changing political situation has made Mannering's return desirable. Their conversation sets private contentment against public duty, while Mannering argues that party demands can weaken a person's principles and independence.
E. Phillips Oppenheim builds this novel around political pressure and personal obligations. In a later exchange, Blanche Phillimore challenges Mannering over his intended marriage to the Duchess of Lenchester. He links his renewed political work to Blanche's debts and Borrowdean's influence, exposing how money and old ties bear on his choices.
