A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Hepworth Gloss had been a wanderer over the earth. When he was carried out from the court-room after Mrs. Yates confession of a crime which he bad shrinkingly believed committed by another, he had fainted from the suddenness with which a terrible load had been lifted from his soul. In that old womans guilt he had no share. It swept the blackness from the marriage he had protested against as hideously wicked. The wrong he had done was divested of the awful responsibilities which had seemed more than he could bear. The revelation had made him, comparatively, an innocent and free man. But a shock had been given to his whole being which unfitted him for the common uses of-society. .A fter all that had passed through his mind he could not bear to think of joining his sister or husband.
