This book deals with the power of forgiveness.
A dramatic love story. The hero, forced into a fight, kills his opponent. Years later, without knowing her identity, he falls in love with the man's
widow, and the story is of the adjustment of their lives after discovery of the circumstances.
She recalled old Mrs. Marshall's dour remarks concerning him;--"brought up by men from his cradle," brought up, moreover, by that terrible old Sir
Beverley on the one hand and an irresponsible French valet on the other. She caught herself wishing that she had had the upbringing of him, and smiled
again. There was a great deal of sweetness in his nature; of that she was sure, and because of it she found she could forgive his waywardness,
reflecting that he had probably been mismanaged from his earliest infancy.
