About this book

At thirty, the scholar Claudius feels older than his years. He has spent a decade in Heidelberg, keeping the same simple room while his intellectual interests and habits have changed. Mathematical papers and books crowd his table, and the view from his garret window marks a daily routine. F. Marion Crawford opens the novel with this unusually independent man, whose learning and physical strength coexist with a growing weariness of his secluded life.

Among wealthy acquaintances, Claudius's attachment to Margaret becomes a subject of dispute. Mr. Barker questions his background and social standing, while Lady Victoria and her brother, the Duke, defend his courtesy and character. Love, inheritance and the meaning of being a gentleman give the story its concerns. Its detailed rooms, conversations and social judgments offer readers a portrait of how a reserved scholar is received within a very different circle.
