About this book

George Eliot follows David Faux over three short chapters. A yeoman's son, he picks the confectioner's trade after one day among the shops of Brigford on a visit to his uncle, the butler at a great house nearby, and soon finds the work too small for his ambition. The narrator treats the mistake with dry humour, comparing it to a gifted metaphysician who began life as a dancing-master. Faux is shown as inventive and restless, but poorly placed for any career beyond candied sugar and pastry.
