About this book
John Fyffe, a soldier of fortune who ended as an acting general under Garibaldi, tells in old age, at his wife's urging, how he broke into her house and took forty thousand pounds before they married. He argues that the deed left his honour unstained, and she remains proud of it. Chapter I places him in London during the 1847 season, newly back from the Argentine Republic, where he had fought for General Rosas before drawing away from him. The novel is by David Christie Murray.
