About this book

Money dominates the Dillaway household, especially when Sir Thomas considers a husband for his daughter Maria. Lady Dillaway speaks up for Henry Clements's character, education and prospects, while her husband keeps returning to the size of his fortune. Their argument opens Martin Farquhar Tupper's social novel with a sharp portrait of parental authority, affection and the habit of measuring people by their income.

Henry's difficulties extend into his working life. A lawyer with strong moral convictions, he writes a book challenging accepted legal practices, only to encounter hostile colleagues and harsh reviews. Tupper combines these personal pressures with an outspoken narrator who comments on kindness, pride and Christian duty.
