About this book
Coming home from a house party, Henry faces Aunt Mirabelle's familiar complaints about his clothes, his leisure and his lack of useful work. His uncle John Starkweather is more sympathetic, yet also wonders whether a young man living on family money should think harder about earning his keep. The prospect of marriage, and Henry's interest in Anna Barklay, give their conversation a practical urgency.
Holworthy Hall's novel carries this comic friction into a dispute over Sunday amusements. An unpopular restriction remains difficult to challenge because citizens hesitate to speak openly, a petition attracts joke signatures, and the Reform League sets traps in its questionnaire. Family criticism and public respectability share the same sharp edge.
