About this book

Missing fruit creates an awkward morning in Sir James Scarlett's carefully tended garden. His anger puts the elderly gardener, John Monnick, on the defensive, while Lady Scarlett offers a gentler judgment. John's elaborate confession about a pear eaten years earlier turns a dispute over honesty into a comic scene of conscience and misunderstanding. Another visitor sees a moral problem in the gardener's everyday efforts to protect his plants from pests.

George Manville Fenn sets this novel among gardens, households and farm work, drawing character through conversations about ordinary concerns. A later scene follows Martha's determined attempt to churn butter while Brother William watches with growing admiration and thoughts of marriage.
